“Hey Guys,

Those Longboats are fast! I saw stacks of em driving around on 26 Monday and Tuesday. This weekend was my fall Break 11/16-11/20 I missed out on a weekend of 60% Green flows and took advantage of the dance party over at LEAF Saturday and Sunday then kicked it over to the Saluda to wrap up the weekend on the Green. I took some noobs down for a first time on Monday so i didn’t see many Golden Strokes but i did see a lady swim Cheif! Then Tuesday Duke Energy graced us with some last minute water and i was able to knock out doubles with Will Stubblefield. Needless to say i saw quite a few Golden Strokes hanging out with him. I think the culmination of the weekend was my second lap on Tuesday. It was fast, not much talking, quick portages and no safety meeting at sunshine. Anyway thought i would send in a couple shots from my fall adventure. Hope everybody is getting out there and taking advantage of all this water I myself am looking forward to dawn patrol before school.

Will Stubblefield is in the long boat
Brian (unsure of last name) in the Magnum
Blue Boat not sure

Cheers

The boys at Progressive Productions sent this one in. I think this guy may have died, at least that’s what they said… Let’s hope not!

This week, John, Woody, and Will talk about some issues facing many rivers in Canada. The Stikine watershed is threatened by over 60 open pit copper mines, and surrounding rivers will have to be dammed to generate enough power to accommodate these mines. On the other side of the country, rivers such as the Romaine are threatened by massive hydropower development which effectively dams the entire main stem of the river. The Romaine is already on it’s way to becoming Lac Romaine, however there are many other rivers in the region which are under review for hydropower development. LVM 32 is going to show you some of these places and the ‘progress’ which has been made there. Check out Sacred Headwaters, the Romaine Alliance, Hydro Quebec’s Romaine Project Site.

This week John, Woody, and Will are back again discussing what they saw on recent trips to the Romaine and Stikine rivers. Both of these incredible wilderness areas face being lost to mining and hydropower. Here about what they saw and stories from their trips.

We just got this from Arlyn Agababian. This guy takes some killer shots. Keep sending us your golden strokes!

Hey guys,

Not sure if it gets better then this. With the race right around the corner and Duke Energy talking about big lake draw downs i think every Green boater is starting to get in the fall frenzy. Tis the season when living out of a van is really starting to pay off. I blew off some school on Friday and knocked out triples on the Green packed the van and we where in Elkhorn City by 1 am. The Russell Fork was a blast! favorite rapid was triple drop blasting through second drop then running third drop direct is a high you can’t buy on the streets. Anyway sending two shots from the weekend. The first picture i’m sure you all know i think i even saw Mr. LVM himself Will Lyons giving a Woop Woop going off the drop Sunday. But anyway Will Stubblefield and his huge lefty at the lip caught my eye as i was setting up for another shot. The second is of all the boys at maze running tight, paddlers are Scott Magley(Blue paranha) Johnathon Absher, Nick Pabst, and Dennis not sure of last name.
Cheers,
Arlyn

Russell Fork season is here, and apparently ready to serve it up. Here’s some action from the Box at Climax. Ouch!
