Well, that's it for me for the river season. I had a good one. I definatley went for quality over quantity. Here's the fun I had:
Salt: 7 days of fun people, rowing a big gear boat, rapids and more fun than I can remember (literally)
Lower Animas: lots of fun booze cruisin'!
Gunny Gorge at smokin high water!
Upper Animas @ med/super fun level, finally got to kayak it, going back next year!
Moved to Utah.
Cottonwood Creek: really fun, got to meet lots of new Utah folks!
Sixth water: point the kayak straight and hold on!!!!!!!!!
Ogden River Narrows: go to get in a few runs at a good level, sucked in the race but had a BLAST, great run!!!
How was your season? What's on tap for next year? |

No whitewater :sad: Did some flatwater up at Smith & Morehouse.
Whitewater Kayaking looks like so much fun. Gear is expensive, would love to learn how and get a cheap used gear.

Yeah I figure the used route would be best for me. $75 is better than I thought for used gear. :rockon:
Which Cottonwood Creek? |
