Sunday

Attempt on Upper Piru Creek with Brett and Topi. We had intended to run the 8 mile section from Gold Hill Road to Hardluck Camp, but aborted due to cold weather, silt filled eddies and tough rapids. According to the CDEC PIRU gage the flow was about 375 cfs. Instead, we hiked up about a mile from Gold Hill Camp and did part of the gorge there. In March 1998 Upper Piru was done from Mutau Flat to Pyramid Lake by Charles Foster, Keith Beck, Keith Richards-Dinger and Rick Norman. For details, see Charles Foster's description of Upper Piru Creek.
