one of my goals before i moved was to launch myself out of the back of the raft at Hospital Bar and do an Air guitar with my paddle. It never happened and i am sad since i doubt i will push any rubber out east

What is that guide doing? Looks like he is working on a crossword puzzle or something.Quote:

Much preferable to gripped looking at any rate. I thought it was funny.
I like big water, don't get me wrong, but after years of working the high desert rivers of Idaho, seems I am best suited to the tight and technical.
I would have loved to work the Zambezi. It looks like a hell of an adventure even at the most "mundane" of levels. Cheers to you for getting on it and getting after it.
That's not a crossword puzzle, he's clearly texting his lunch order in...Quote:

Doing more crossword puzzles on the Zambezi. #18 this time.

Are you guys running the big holes on purpose?
We run the deep, flushy, safe holes and try our best to run away from anything that's shallow or will surf a body.Quote:
