Allright - nobody does creeks anymore... put up a cheap 4' pool in the back yard and do the same
thing. Shame that nobody does creeks anymore...

3 people died in the rivers here here in the Portland OR metro area yesterday
doing just that. It was 97 and will be for the next few days. It still beats the
hell out of Phx & Tucson where I used to live.

Why'd they die?
Was the river running hard?

I used to love jumping in the creek after mountain biking. I had to get
a watch that wouldn't blow the seals.. finally got a real divers
watch... my body heat then the cold water would make those crappy retail
100m watches gulp water...

I'm with you on creeks, but now have a pool, and don't ride much anymore.
