SAKS: Santa Margarita 2023
January 5, 2023
River: Santa Margarita
Flow: 1100cfs
Paddlers: Gavin Rieser (GoPro, edit), Nic Barth, Eric Disque
Song: "Margaritaville" by Sugar in the Gas Tank
Living down in San Diego can be challenging for kayaking. There ARE creeks and rivers, but challenges include overgrown vegetation, access, and narrow flow windows. While access to "the Marg" is easy and the canyon is relatively clean (minus some trees and the occasional shopping cart or such that washes down from Temecula), the boatable flow window is often quite narrow and usually in the evening or middle of the night. Flows will spike dramatically from almost nothing to very high then drop back down to below 200 in 6-12 hours. The ...

South Silver Creek (upper put-in) Flow: ~250cfs Looking through my movie editor, I came across an unfinished edit of a high-water South Silver lap back in 2020. Sadly, the GoPro battery died half way down so I missed everything after Skyscraper (including an epic swim through the log sieve with a last-second recovery before the portage). Have to say, the runout after Quadruple Bypass was pretty...

I'm not sure the last time this creek has been run, but it was a lot of fun (granted, it needs a little weed-whacking). Such a cool adventure not too far out of L.A. or SD.

    Check out Sespe Creek (outside of Ojai) per your intro of a class V boater living in San Diego looking for adventure in SoCal. It goes with good rain storms and feels like a little extension of the Sierra. Upper Santa Ana River in and around Mt San Gorgonio north of you may warrant some exploration too... That little creek and surroundings you guys were on looks like west Texas hill country. Unique! Cheers guys

    That tunnel you went through at the very beginning is where that young man died. There is a deep hole in the middle of that tunnel and it has rebar and the young man got impaled by the rebar and they could not pull him out. They had to divert the entire creek to after a couple weeks to pull him out and give his body to his family. That is the second person that died last winter in that very same area by being impaled by either rebar or sharp sticks, both DIED.

    What an epic series of falls! That first rapid in the Mommy Gorge, with all the water forced in split streams into a narrow area was wild. What a whiteout! How long did it take for the oblique muscle to recover/relax?

    We rafted this and I will never ever forget it. The rapids below Double Falls were amazing. We had about 800 to 1000 CFS, The rapid at 3:14 of your video gave us pause, it was like a flume ride and an uphill climb through a big reversal. We couldn't scout the bottom of the rapid, but I couldn't imagine anything could be wedged in the last drop. The Crucible was also a huge challenge, we had to lasso a tree trunk to scout the drop below Arrowhead Falls. You felt so small in this section, no shore to scout from, just cliffs, especially on river left. We had the trip of a lifetime.
