not the most timely site on the web, but oh well. back again from a fort tuthill weekend, rowed a diamond down river expedition. bunch of work for such a short trip. had a multigenerational fighter pilot squadron with us, really strikes me how young pilots in the air force are. we had a set of twins in the group of 16 and brought their dad, veitnam vet- super mellow, rode with his wife, son-in-law and me on a three boat trip intersting to all of us I'm sure. they traveled in from texas just for the weekend- we night floated into the lake and had a couple bizaar cameos from the river's finest. feedback from these trips make me hopeful that folks come from these canyon experirnces with a fresh persective. looking forward to some higher elevations these next 10 days or so.
