I took my 10 year old down Westwater canyon on the Colorado. The flow was way too low and we had a few problems with a few larger rigs. All made it through fine at the end, great time with great friends.

Flow: <2,000 cfs

Awesome. Hey, for some reason I thought you said Max had been down Westwater before.

I just cried a little after the Hug! Cool vid man, makes me appreciated the times I had with my kids when I was still the strongest man in the world to them.

Nope, he's been everywhere else but not WW. I sold my Riken to Adam and he came on this trip as well and did pretty good.

Dman, thanks! I am sure you are still the strongest man to them in their eyes, sometimes they are just afraid to say it outloud.

Thanks denali :) I made the video more for his memory rather than a TR. I've done WW so many times that it's not a TR anymore, for him it was still very exciting. Now that the video is in the internets, I hope he will look back 10 years from now and remember the good times :)
