This time of year it's often hard to find decent places to paddle. In an effort to stay fresh and keep our gear ripe, we made our way to the Mokelumne river. The Elektra section is only class two, but makes for a good teaching platform. We worked on the basics of going in and out of eddys, ferrying, boofing, and paddle placement. Eric, an instructor at California Canoe and Kayak, once told me that, "The best place to practice class 4-5 moves is on a class 2-3 river." That was our mission, and the results were good.
After the run I had the joy of running a bike shuttle back up the hill to get the truck. It was good exercise, but I still prefer a car shuttle.
Take care
Evan

So far I have been very happy with the Mega Rocker. The only thing I don't like is the weight, but it goes with the territory.
