If this was in the Southeast It would be a Zoo: part 5

South Mineral Creek has got to be one of the most fun creeks I have ever ran. Myself, Adam, and Boyd spent a day lapping it up. The only downside of South Mineral Creek is you have to hike the shuttle. We awoke to find South Mineral at a perfect, highish level. To my surprise we had a perfect level, perfect weather, and absolutely no other boaters. Not many creeks of the quality of South Mineral would be empty in the southeast. A perfect 20 footer followed but a series of fun boofs, a bouncing 12 footer, and the cauldron. The cauldron had to be one of the most fun drops we ran. It was a 8 foot drop into a completely walled in micro gorge with a four foot exit drop. Not much to say about South Mineral other than it was fun. Enjoy.

Cool Shot
Hiking the Shuttle wasn't fun , but atleast you had a breath taking view Adam Filming (you should check out the video Adam did great on it)
