Chabidiah(Chad), chabbies wife (Em), Tyson, Emma, Don, Josh, canyongirl(Steph), and I(Nick) did Pinecreek on Sunday 6/8 for the noobfest.

It was a great group. Don and Josh are awesome. Very funny.
We got on the trail at about 9ish and met up with a group of 3 at the first rap. everything was dry until the cathedral. Chabidiah and I did a simul rap there. Steph went through the arch so she didn't have to get wet and Emma followed. Chad carried Em through the water so she didn't have to get wet either. All the guys wanted to do the "full meal deal" so we all swam that first pool. I added a little back float and noone would follow. The drop after that we decided to stay in the water route and the girls all got rides on the shoulders to stay dry. Hit the second to last rap wet and a little cold wishing there was sun down there.
When Chad set up the last rap the rope ends were about 1 ft off the water, my rope has shrunk a little. The rap was awesome! No matter how many rappels I do I can't shake my fear of heights.
The boulder hopping hike out was longer than I remember but we hit the first pool and Steph and I were in the back we decided to just go through it. Well I saw the trail to the left but didn't tell Steph it was there, she wasn't too mad.
Caught up with Chad, Em, Don, and Josh at a skinnier hole that they were jumping in. Don was using the "kiddie step" :haha: Everyone jumped in and then we caught up to Tyson and Emma that had found a snake, cool!
Got to the last jump-in pool at about 1:30. Not too bad for eight people. Had a blast jumping in. A perfect end to a perfect weekend.

Will add pics later. I brought the camera just not the right cable. Hopefully Chabidiah has some pics to post.

Steph going down




Nick and Chad having fun at the end. In the pic with me doing a retarded wannabe flip if you look behind my and up to the left a little you can see sand on the rock. Chad was throwing sand up from behind and we would slide on the sand into the water, fun stuff. Chad also got a little flat rock and tried to "skateboard" down the rock. He came off the rockboard and was running down looking back at the rock like "WTF was I thinking. I hope that rock doesn't hit me in the head". very funny, at the time.
