Thanks, and nice blog yourself Shelly! You’re not far from my old neck of the woods (NE PA), although I never paddled up there. Keep up the great posting!

Comment on Video: Rob McKibbin on Sunset Falls – Plus A Little Something by Irene

LOL, good question! Actually the ceremony paled (fearwise) in comparison to most of the major drops I’ve run, even though they have normally turned out OK (swimming a big chunk of Middle Icicle and getting my helmet snagged on a tree underwater on the Foss being the notable exceptions – but I digress). So that includes virtually everything on Tumwater (even the flat parts ) the Cooper the first time down (when Mike and I did it just ourselves so scouted everything and I happen to suck at clambering around on slippery rocks), and even Boulder Drop, which I’ve run countless times but it still scares me way more than it should most days. I guess you could describe the ceremony as pool-drop in style – I knew that once it was over there would be a leisurely paddle followed by margaritas at the reception instead of some massive run-out.

Congrats. So between the biggest drop you’ve run and the ceremony, which was the scariest?

haha loving the shout out! I was actually very close to sending a message the other day but I figured as its summer you’d probably be out boating so i could live with that

Comment on Whitewater Kayaking Classes Around Seattle in 2012 by Kayak Fisher

Thanks for those great tips on white water kayaking classes in Seattle. It was a big help to me because I want to become a better kayaker. I’m good enough for kayak fishing, but you never know when you might get in a bind. And since we visit Seattle a great deal because my wife is from there, and we have family, it going to be something we can do when we are there with the whole family. They like kayaking too! So this gave us a great idea for our next visit. Thanks again
