There is a group in that area now. I don't know if they went to Little Mill, White Rock, Mormon, or Spirits.

More will be heading that way around 12:00.

Nick has some video of the 2 bigger drops. We now have a name for the big drop that was run for the 1st time. I will let nick post that. That run will be probably the best micro creek in crawford county when we hit it with a bunch more water in it.

Also the few miles of mill creek you run are a blast with some pretty decent rapids and at higher water will have some monster holes to avoid. Take away the gash and luv shack falls and it is a way better un than little mill at those levels.

Congrats on the run of Mormon Cr! I think Steve R. had some name for the big one - I didn't realize they didn't run it. It's a big drop indeed. The only problem with Mormon is the tenth of a sq. mi watershed - high level run will probably have to be during, not after, a thunderstorm!

And I'll second the Mill Cr. comments. We ran it from Devil's Canyon down years ago and it was not much good until we passed Mormon Cr. After that, the ledges make some big holes at high water.
