Well dudes, I'm outta here for the next 6 or 8 months, so my canyon season is pretty much complete until the late fall. I leave you with my last contribution for awhile... Enjoy.

Bummer. At least you got her back. Have fun up north Dano-the-mano.

[denaliguide]

right up until the end i thought you were going out to retrieve your inflatable date.

that sucks about the camera. you have taken some incredible shots with it.

where you going for the summer?

[Sombeech]

I knew it was Bush's fault

[abirken]

You had me going the first couple of minutes!!! Great and very entertaining video!

But what a bum deal to lose a camera though.

[rockgremlin]

OH NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

That SUCKS!!! UGH!!! Totally sorry to hear about that!

Hang in there buddy, Bush will be out soon enough.

I'll miss ya. Be safe in the Great North.

Essentially equivalent, for me...

Thanks Denali.

Fairbanks. Ever heard of it?

[CarpeyBiggs]

Bummer. At least you got her back. Have fun up north Dano-the-mano.

Thanks man, you too. Good luck with graduation and real life and all that stuff...

Yeah, bummer for sure. That thing will be sorely missed. Just in time for the big road trip too. Sucks... Ah well, better the camera than me. That wind was something ferocious.

[CarpeyBiggs]

I knew it was Bush's fault

Bush is responsible for climate change, which led to the 50mph gusts of winds that sucked the life out of my soul for the last 5 days, and stole my most prized possession from my very hands... Damn Bush!!!

... I'm outta here for the next 6 or 8 months...

screw the camera, where you off too?


ok, kidding, real bummer about the camera
i know the feeling, well sorta

on our honeymoon, my wife and i were leaving the train in naples and walked to the local train stop. i turned to my wife and said hand me my camera (wanting to get a shot of this dirty bum) and she states real puzzled-like "stop screwing around, i dont have your stinkin' camera"

"oh shit, i scream in a panic, and i bolt to the train we just exited.
as i arrived it was slowly pulling away.....

that was the last fancy camera i purchased, at the risk of dating myself, it was a EOS-1N

kinda sounds familiar.

lived out in goldstream valley for a while.

enjoy the summer up there.

[accadacca]

Nicely done (the video work). Sorry to hear about the camera. Keep in touch man.

[Alex]

Dan, oh man, that camera went through hell and back, through deep water and high altitude. I will miss it and your ugly face behind it. You take care there buddy, time will heal everything, I am sure there is another one out there for you somewhere.

[James_B_Wads2000]

Oh it was a camera! Great! It only to 6:10 to get to the punchline...

Sorry for your loss, have fun in AK.

Great video, nice spin on a tragedy. Hope the crew isn't too bummed about the recovery instead of rescue. I hate it when things take a turn for the worst and you can't get time back. Check into your homeowners ins. Some policies cover stuff like this.

Nothing worse then recovering the mangled body of a beloved friend.

[Jaxx]

top notch rescue. Sorry for your loss.
When you get back we need to get together for a canyon. Have fun going into the wild. sorry I just got done reading that book.

I'm assuming this was the same day I was on Lake Powell for these insane winds. We had three foot + waves in the main channel, it was nuts! I was out for 12 days and this happened to be my only day off... good thing I did because I don't know what our boat man would have done without me helping him keep the boat from banging into rocks/cliffs while we waited for our crew to come out of the days canyon. It was pretty intense getting everyone out of the lake, we were throwing ropes to pull them in while trying to keep the boat from getting smashed on the rocks. It was by far the most intense "rest" day I've ever had. Sorry about the camera Dan but the vid is very entertaining... How many pairs of shoes does Dave have anyway, and how many times does he change them in the vid?

I finally got around to watching the Video. Bummer man. One thought on the sending "money in lieu of flowers." I am happy to accept all the donations since no group will need to remove President Bush. It will be done by constitutional mandate. I hope Alaska treats you well and maybe next year for Kolob.
