Happy Birthday Truck!

Well guys, she made it! The big 184,000. She's traveled across the country , up and down, back and forth,this way and that way, up the mountains, through the rivers, and truly through the woods. She has got the wounds to prove it, but she is a great truck with tons of fight left in her.

In other news, Lunchcounter has been out of control for the last week. I have been switching back and forth between board and boat, and having a blast either way. There have been more surfers as the flow has droped, and it's too low for kayaking now, but it was sooo good while it lasted. I showed up ready to jump in my kayak and surf yesterday, met Russel from Utah and decided to paddle the run instead. Surfed when we floated down but just kept getting blown off the back. No pile, just a big green wave. After we ran the shuttle though, I cam back and surfed it with the board and had a few good waves. The run seems like it will improve with a little less water, but as far as Lunchcounter goes, not again until next year!

I have been camping out up in Curtis Canyon. Took a bath in the creek last night. In this dammed up pool. Was numbingly cold, but extremely refreshing after I had my sweats on. Bought some chicken from the store and grilled that up, and it was a nice change of diet. I also bought a tupperware thing the other day, and now I can save leftovers, which is nice not having to eat everything I cook right away. Had a whiskey and fell asleep in the hammock by the fire under a clear night sky.

Not sure whats in store for the weekend, but at the very least it's time I figure out how to catch a fish. I saw some guys sticking thier hands down in the river rocks trying to pull fish out, apparently they got some earlier, but I did'nt see it. But it's something to think about!
