sittin in a boat in a hole in the water in the river

So the wave they call "lunchcounter" is so sick right now for surfing. Apparently it's the first river wave to be surfed with surfboard in the good ol' US of A. Don't know about that, but it's good for sure. Nice soft right handed shoulder to carve up on, and a good steep face with a retentive pile on top. They had a pro flowrider dude surfing on Saturday. He was killing it for sure, but they were filming for research of the waves' hydro dynamics for future flowboard design. It was a beautiful day, girls on the rocks, tons of people watching, a good flow to the river and fun to be had by all. I started in my kayak and moved back in forth between my board and boat. I fair better in my boat though...for sure. Those other guys on boards are sick and most of them have the wave dialed. That night I'm camping up the Grey River, going to bed, brushing my teeth, looking around the darkness with my headlamp, and I see a pair of eyes looking right back at me. I banged a pot with a rock, threw logs, threw rocks, got in my truck with my brights on and tried to chase it off, and the thing jus goes a bit further back into the forest, but I can still see the two yellow eyes glowing back at me from the beam of my headlamp....I got in the truck and locked the doors...It was gone in the morning.



Yesterday was spent surfing and kayaking and I camped up Curtis Canyon again (it's got cell service), made chili dogs and went to sleep to a beautiful sunset behind the Tetons. A few hours later I awoke to thunder and lightning, and hail, and rain, and wind, and I was concived that this one tree was going to fall for sure, and smash my little truck into a million pieces. Through the rain soaked windows, I saw the lights of the tenters a little ways down the hill scrambling for thier cars. Looked like a bunch of little fireflys buzzing around the nighttime sky. Awoke this morning to a few downed branches but no real damage, or sign of the tenters.


Thats pretty much all for now, but don't worry, we'll talk soon.
