My summer in photos (a lazy mans all encompasing TR)

Well, I don't seem to be finding the time to lay down a detailed TR from my summer travels, but I can sure as hell drop a few photos here.

I had a great summer. Did a lot of skiing / flying / fishing, spent a lot of time on the rivers, disconnected from work for 7 weeks and went to Australia / NZ with the family, decompressed, reconnected with the family and the ocean, did several multi day float trips on my return, went hunting for ten days, and generally sucked the marrow out of Alaska. All is well and I'm a happy guy.

I board, but not as much as I'd like. Of course there are a thousand activities fitting that description. I was kinda getting my ass handed to me that day. It was blowing pretty fuggin hard.

Wow the tal looks really really clear in those pic is that just because you are really high up there, what section of river is that, it looks tempting... :)
