For those of you coming to AZ for the ACA canyons rendezvous next week: Parker Creek Canyon is still flowing nicely as of yesterday and is worthy of being on the hit list for the rendezvous. Not as much flow as when Todd & Co went thru last month, but on the plus side the water has likely warmed up some since then. Connie wore a 7mm farmer jane with a 3/2 bolero jacket; I was quite comfortable in a full 5mm wetsuit. Probably could have gotten by with a full 3/2, but the swims would have been mighty cold.

Hi Ted and Connie
Good to see you post a trip report over here. I know it must have been cold because Connie had a suit on her legs!! Ted and Connie are among the more active folks out and about and I have read their trip reports here for many years. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/climb_on/messages Love it and don’t forget to cross post over here too. I’m sure the folks going to the rendezvous appreciate the up to date conditions report. Looks like I will see you in May. Looking forward to it. Ram
