Better late than never I always say. As usual, most of my adventures happen during nap time for my kids. To be honest, this year I waited until thermometer at the house broke double digits. I figured I could modify a cold weather boating strategy that my brother calls "the Marlow Run" and do a little bi-athelon in the process. So I packed up "KeeLani" my hippy Hawain sweetie, Remix 79, a pair

The freestyle was okay and after testing out all thefeatures and the air

Last week we noticed a fairly hefty tree resting on a rock in the main flow on Shoshone. April 11th, a CRMS crew came armed with rope and pulleys to remove said fairly hefty tree. The log was located just below "Entrance Exam" on Shoshone. The log was pinned against a large boulder in the middle preventing eddy access, so we boyscout pulled it with about 8 people and it came out easy. The

The mighty oysters compete in four different types of events - Downriver, Slalom, Freestyle, and Boatercross.Downriver is just like it sounds. You paddle downstream as fast as you can.

On the harder runs,
