I am really partial to Stepp Creek, great run, easy shuttle, pretty easy access, and can be lapped, but especially Stepp Creek at high water (although it is always fun). Not the gnarliest or steepest but it all goes and is just non-stop fun. Favorite moment of my runs down it had to be the flawless work down 7 Seconds (I think that is the name?) at high water with the crew, one of the best cordinated eddy hop sessions ever, everybody was on it. Plus Pac-Man has to be one of the sickest boof setups in the state at a good flow.

Clear Creek is really cool just based on the fact that it is a quality steep creek in Oklahoma, the rapids being good helps a bit too. Wister Wave at the perfect level is really really really really fun.

Still a lot I would like to run before my time is up in the state (Long Branch, Boss Hollow, Osage, the Devil Den creeks like Ben Doodle and Hart, etc...), but I don't know if I will get that opportunity.

Galla creek, because its really close to my house, and its not a shabby run either. The shuttle is also easy.

only run it twice (and it was on the same day) - but the Schaeburg run on clear creek is a blast if you can catch it.

I"m going to have to agree with Stepp and Wister. I'd like to throw in Dierks, West Horsehead, and Sandy Springs. So I guess the entire EFLB drainage has been covered, or at least when someone says Long Branch
It could be worse, it could stop raining
