Paddling pics

Thanks Insayn,
It's really a neat experience. That was actually a little hazy that morning after wind the previous day. But the snorkeling is also pretty good, and hard to believe you several hundred miles from the ocean!

Damnend ? No , it was an idea years ago , but was rejected by many institutions, no hydroelectrical project there. Check earthriver's web site, its updated to now. http://www.earthriver.com/calendar.php?year=2011&header=3&ss=3#c2011

Ha! That's too funny; I was on a double date about 12-13 yrs ago and the other girl's boyfriend was bragging about being one of the last trips on it before it was dammed. He was full of hot air as usual. Thanks.


The Lake Superior pics made me dig out these oldies. I think this is Devils Island, but because I look like I'm set up for more of a day paddle, it could be Sand Island. In any case, it was The Aspostle Islands circa 1996 , possibly '97 (whichever year was the first production year of the Dagger Meridian).

This is my girlfriend Jen aka The Jenerator, on the Cedar River for her first slalom race. Plastic category in her Necky Rip back in '99. We married in '09 and our first born, Olivia aka "Uh Oh, Olivia" is 14 weeks old tomorrow. (She's just like her mother; the perfect combination of Sugar & Spice & Everything Nice, and Hops & Barley & Everything Gnarly!)

May 2011 Grand Canyon from Whitmore to Lake Mead

Starting at Vegas-- small plane to dirt airstrip at the Bar 10 Ranch
Then a Helicopter flight to canyon floor
raft through lower section of GC for two days
then a jet boat ride through wide slower (upper lake Mead section)
super quick trip but awesome and full of suprises.

From last year. Baron Canyon in Algonquin Park. Never knew there were any canyons in Ontario. Image quality sucks a bit, cheap waterproof P&S.

Bit of a portage:

This waterway used to be used for running logs. Lots of deadheads sticking up now:

Start of the canyon:

The canyon is much more impressive than the photos show, at least for an Easterner.

Hard to tell the scale, but I think it's 300 feet straight up.

Running from an approaching storm:

Had to take shelter when the thunder got too close:

My sister (or maybe my brother-in-law) shot this pic of my boy Cam and I paddling the Little Juniata river in central Pennsylvania. This was an Expo trip we did just this weekend with the Ridgerunner gang. Also it was Cam's first river run and we had a blast paddling through the class 1 and 2 rapids together...

Finally got out on the water the last couple of weekends. Here is the upper Potomac in Northern VA.

I would like to add that there is no second kayak in this photo because someone did not call me to go...just saying.

Here are a few I stumbled on from a Grand Teton trip back in '05:

This was a couple of weeks ago on Round Tangle Lake which is west of Paxson in Alaska. This was also my first time ever on a kayak!






The ice was thick enough that I was able to walk out on it yet.
