A crew of 3 are headed that way, potentially. We were looking at Osage, Spirits, and/or little mill. My number is 479 97o 355o. spirits wood be fun, and a group of others wanting to run it would help us decide where to go!

Just missed your message grant. Sure hope they find the other missing.

Spirits was flush at the put in bridge and was a good run.

4 river wide deadfalls.

Glad to hear you got to run Spirits Half Ton. Was this your first time?

I ran this one a bout two years ago right around the end of the washed out canoe school session Ryan, but it did not have as much water then as it did the other day and the bottomless mud hole on the shuttle road is $250,000 better than it was.

Here's a few shots that I managed to get. What a fun creek! I recommend to anyone that's never run it.
