Wednesday: put in at Corn Creek. The temp was pushing 100, the skies were clear, hardly a breeze. There were 19 in our party. Five boats carried our gear and food for 7 days. My son opted for an inflatable kayak and made his way confidently down river. About 30 minutes into our trip we pulled out the water canons. It was time for a water fight. The cold water felt good but evaporated in minutes. A short while later we were running Killum Rapid, a decent II+ run. Half mile later was Gunbarrel. Stopped for lunch , beaching the boats on a sandbar. Another couple miles, a few no-name rapids, past Horse Creek, ran Sub Creek Rapid, then made our way to Legend Campground where we would stay for the night. First priority for everyone was staking claim to a sleeping spot. Our camp was set up in no time. Legend with its long sandy beach and tall stand of trees offered a suitable site for our first night on the river. We spent the evening eating, drinking and sharing stories. As most of the others on this trip were new faces it gave us time to get acquainted.
