At the end of the day, everyone agreed that, while the paddling was great, watching Mike playboat in a canoe was the very memorable. I look forward to running more rivers with you all soon.

Merced strikes again
The Merced delivered again with another beautiful day. Mike, Hans, Jeff, and myself had a nice ride down. Jeff is quickly becoming a really strong boater. It's been fun watching him progress.

Kayaking The Merced on 3-14-7
Jeremy, Brandi and I headed to the Merced River again. This river is on the top of our list for fun right now. It's flowing, lots of fun holes, and very little flat water paddling.
We started at the South Fork and continued past Briceburg. When we got to Split Rock (class IV) we all got out and scouted. We decided to run it one at a time with two of us staying on the side of the river for safety. Jeremy and Brandi got into a discussion about who was going to get to go first. Brandi usually wins the argument and gets to go first. Jeremy got to go first this time. Brandi wasn't too happy with his run and later was heard saying, "if you dink over, then just dink-up". I am actually thinking of making that into a bumper sticker now. "If you dink over, just dink up".
Enjoy the Video!

Brandi rocks at Satan's Cesspool
Brandi and I headed up to the S.F. American River on Saturday March 2, 2007. The flows were pushy at 2,200 cfs. Lots of water in the narrow gorge. We both had some fun challenges with some sticky holes. No swims on this beautiful day though. It was sunny and warm.
Enjoy the video!

Wintertime on the Merced River
On Tuesday February 27, 2007 Jeremy, Larry and Brandi headed up to the Merced River for their first time. None of them had run this section before, but with guidebooks in hand and advice from friends they were stoked to get on the water. With the overnight rain the river had risen from 561 cfs to 1310 cfs.
Before getting on the river Jeremy had an incident at a roadside port-a-potty!
Once on the river they experienced periods of sun, clouds, rain, hail and snow. Yes, this is the second time for Jeremy and Larry to be paddling during a snowfall.
Make sure your speakers are on before checking out the video below. It was a great day for some winter time paddling!
