What can I say, I love classic multi-day River Trips.  There is something about casually floating downstream for a bunch of days, living next to the river without a care in the world that keeps me yearning to do more.  When my friend Dorrie asked me if I wanted to go to the Selway, I jumped at the chance.  I also thought it was a good opportunity to see how much crap I could cram into the Fusion.

The British Universities Kayak Expedition team have just completed another few runs, including a 2nd descent of the Rio Aricagua – a 2 day run of continuous 4+(5).

Check out the team blog for the photos and stories.

As a longtime fan and occasional contributor of LVM, I was sad to hear it was going to draw to a close. However, all things must end at some point and now that LVM is no longer a business, I see no reason not to put the segments that I have contributed online for all to see. The Alabama Winter Update was originally filmed for and featured in LVM #35: Love Thy Self and can be seen HERE.

If you’d like to see more winter footage from these two runs, click HERE to check out the video Winter B-Roll, which is all the extra footage I didn’t use in the LVM segment.

Last winter Charlie Mix and I also filmed a cold snowy day on Little River Canyon and I put it together into a video Winter Weather Advisory, which can be seen HERE.

Until Next Time…

After a spectacular mission in California, Demshitz returned to Pennsylvania where they were blessed with holy water on Sunday in the Delaware Water Gap. The Hornbecks and Raymondskill creeks served up some good fun and there was plenty of Brown to Brown. Check out the Video!

After a good, but long week hanging out with the Pyranha family at Outdoor Retailer in Salt Lake City, we headed back to Colorado for some actual kayaking. Here in the inner Crystal Gorge, Josh Bechtel is trying out the new creekboat; the Shiva.

The British Universities Kayak Expedition are just about to set off on another mission into the Jungle to paddle a couple of rivers. So far weve paddled some fantastic runs (including what we believe to be the 2nd descent of the Rio Calderas), and had a couple of epics in the jungle. Updates and photos are on the team blog.

Six friends and I awoke before dawn to float the last few miles to the take-out of the Colorado River at Diamond Creek. It was December 18, 2009 and it was the completion of my first trip through the Grand Canyon (see trip report HERE). Chris Gallaway produced a mini-movie about our winter 2009 trip and it is one of the segments featured in the new DVD “Coming Home” from Rapid Transit (see trailer and ordering info HERE). Less than six months later I found myself back at Lee’s Ferry about to spend another two weeks this incredible place. The following is my day-by-day record of our June 2010 descent.
