Looking upstream through the canyon

 About a week later, I headed up there again with some of the folks that I work with.  Keith Kirchner, my boss, has been a Gore guide for years, but wanted to get a practice run in before the season started up.  Here he is making it look good, and bad.  Carnage is awesome.

Everyone enjoys a good dump

Keith ended staying under for quite a while. All was good though.

Well, I’m signing out from the West.  Hopefully I will see ya’ll soon on the rivers of the Southeast.

Peace
