Upper Tuolumne (Cherry Creek: V) part 2

Since my first run at Cherry creek in 2007, I have run it for ten times by the end of the season in 2009. In the beginning of my first 4 times' run, it was scary run and I felt nervous a lot. However, as I have come to get familiar with the run, I have come to feel comfortable at Cherry. On the day of my last run at Cherry creek in 2009, there was Cherry creek race held (photos by Ion Berkley). In that night, many paddlers got together at the Lumsden falls campground for the party. Although I brought some food (Teriyaki Chiken), I think I ate and drank more than that. That was a great and fun night. Thank you very much for organizers of the party.

Another racer running at the last part of Mushroom rapid. In 2009, I also ran the entire part of Mushroom rapid, though I had portaged the upper part and re-putin at the middle before that.

Do I look like having run Lumsden Falls rapid (V+)?
