Over Labor Day weekend, Terry and I decided to go check out some dam release runs in New York;  For years, I have heard good things about a handful of the runs that release in NY every fall, so we thought it was about time to go check em’ out.  Terry and I left on a Wednesday night and headed northeast to meet up with Gina, Levi and a few others f…[Read more]

As luck would have it, Terry and I caught the beginning of Topical Storm ‘Fred’ while we were out East last weekend.

With rain in the forecast, we had our hopes up of getting some natural flow on Sunday, but the weather wasn’t calling for anything too crazy just yet.   When we awoke at Levi’s hostel, we were informed that nearly 8′ of rain had…[Read more]

Earlier this May, Terry and I set out to Idaho for a pre-season trip down the Middle Fork of the Salmon.  For years, we have heard tales of this beautiful stretch of river, and after having paddled sections of the Main Salmon, as well as South Fork Salmon, we decided it was time to check out what the Middle had to offer.

Going into it, about all…[Read more]

Terry is getting rid of his Fluid Play boat.  $50.   It is welded in more places than one can count, but is fine for warm water paddling, or practicing in the pool.

Hey Y’all,

For those interested, I put together an edit of one of the most fun runs in the South East; The Thompson River.

It is one I had wanted to get on for quite some time, but catching it at the right time when you live in Missouri proved to be rather elusive.     It was great when all of the stars finally aligned!

Enjoy and hope the S…[Read more]

I finally went through and did my annual compilation of the good, the bad, and the ugly lines had by Terry and I this past season of 2020.   As the whitewater legend Scott Lindgren likes to say, “There is no shame in this game”.

Enjoy

Hello Friends,

Terry, Levi and I ventured up to the PNW for a short smash and grab trip.  One of the rivers on our list to hit was the Green Truss section on the White Salmon river.    It is a run that we had passed up a few times, but was well worth the wait.  Enjoy!

Well, well, after years of hearing fireside tales of the “secrete creek” nestled into the St Francis mountains, I decided yesterday was the day that I’d have the best chance catching it.

I left STL around 7 a.m. and arrived at the bridge on hwy E that flows over LRC at about 9 a.m.  I had information that if the creek looked runnable there, that…[Read more]
