It's been an exciting past couple of weeks. The greys peaked at around the 5ft mark, and it was awsesome...like a little piece of the north fork just down the street. The Gros Ventre got big too, about 4ft at the bridge. The canyon toped out at around 24,000. Between those three, kings wave, and lunch counter, the summer has gotten kicked off in the appropriate fashion. We've been throwing big tricks at the counter for the last week and a half. Surf Wyoming!

I spent a week out east picking up a new vehicle...It was really good to see some of my friends I haven't seen in a minute...A minute being about 5 years..You guys should come check out the other half of the country!

I had an epic adventure down Bitch Creek a few weeks ago and I learned a valuable lesson regarding rivers.. Everything was going good, the Bitch was about as big as it gets, I was with a solid crew, had my trusty creekboat and an adventurous attitude...Well let me tell you where all that gets you these day...Stuffed under a log, with the boat being pushed under. I was able to cling to the top of the log, wiggle out of my boat just in time to see it get sucked under the log and down the creek. I was left with a bruised ego and a long walk ahead. I climbed up a verticle rock wall, through the rattlesnake dens, across the endless potatoe fields and over this super sketchy bridge to the car..I made it, no injurys, no problems except for the fact my creekboat was now submarining itself down this relativly remote creek.

So I'm at work last week. I get a phone call...They found my creekboat!!! It's good to go minus a little thigh foam on the inside. I went and picked it up...a few more scratches, and a little dent, but that is about it...it's still a creekboat.

The lesson to be learned...when on a new river, especially at high flow, maybe it is not the best idea to charge full speed ahead downstream. Rather, you should take your time, enjoy the river, and do not be afraid to scout.

A big thanks to Dan A for towing my boat the 10 miles out of the forest for me.
