December Rains

A huge amount of rain fell this week, rivers rose, the weather channel posted a "river flood warning" and I got really excited to go kayaking. Wednesday's rains fell hard and fast, too fast for the little creeks. The rivers where to high! What to high...? Never the less, I did manage t get on a little creek near Wilkes-Barre called the Laurel once the water dropped almost as fast as it rose. the Laurel is a classic PA creek with a few bigger surprise drops, it was also one of the coldest days I have ever paddled but the sun was making it a very enjoyable on the river... enjoy a few images!
