South Branch of the Middle Fork Feather

Yesterday our crew headed out to run the South Branch of the Middle Feather. This small creek is one of most remarkable one-day kayaking adventures California has to offer.
Even though it is June 1st it is still cold and rainy out here. Thomas Marnics, Rachel Curtis, Laura Farrell and myself started early morning in Chico. We put in at a relatively high water level. We made quick progress due to Tomass memory of the run. After a short paddle in we soon arrived at the first waterfall. Here the run really begins. There while it was snowing, raining and even the sun came out for a second or two. We had really good times but decided to hike out just above 99 Problems due to the high water level and the slippery rocks which would have made the portage not only difficult but also dangerous. Well the hike out was not the best I ever did but not to bad either.
This run is a bless and I will for sure do it again.
