This year the Kern River saw more water than in the past two decades. The peak flow was 8662cfs. Many epic events occurred in The Kern Valley because of all this water and I was fortunate to be a part of a few. I can't say too much, I was just there documenting the fun, maybe a little crazy, sequence of events. I would have to say though that all the credit goes out to my amazing friends that do what they do. The following photos are of the first R4 (four people in a raft) descent of Brush Creek, which included running both portages cleanly. Amazing! Enjoy :)
