After my 65 day stint in the southern ocean I was hanging out to go creeking! The transition from sea kayak to creek boat is always a good one! Things happen fast, the moves feel good and drops get the blood flowing.

OR Rafting Team: The Blood Of Our Lives River oh river you still seem to take me, to a place in my heart where my soul needs to go, a place in my heart where the river can grow.

Small World Adventures: Small World Adventures, Kayak Ecuador We had a big group this week split between a Mucha Agua trip and a Torrents trip. There was a group of friends from Colorado and Vermont, and then the rest of the 2 groups was made up of people from Arizona, North Carolina, Georgia, Kentucky, and Virginia. So all and all we had a very geographically diverse group.

rockratrobinson: Another One There was one more river I managed to get on whilst up in the far north. This one was in the guidebook, and required a walk in, but didn't offer up as much as the previous run. Go out and explore; there's still stuff out there on your doorstep.

Jackson Kayak: Mid Atlantic Tour: EPIC paddling in February! With Rock Island running at 1 generator for a month straight, it became the perfect time to head north for some kayaking action! I planned my around some of our fantastic Jackson Kayak Dealers, so that I could visit with them along the way.
