I got a call from Shayne on July 22nd asking if I could paddle on the 23rd, living at the Strathcona Lodge it is hard to get back to people because the e-mail doesn’t always work and the phones are the same. But things worked out and I got ahold of him. (more…)

We paddled the Gordon (Upper/Lower) on Saturday in low water. Upper. The insidious log at the first drop on triple drop, is gone (hooray). Terminator has changed; there is now a right line on the hole (left of the sneak) and a tongue that protrudes past the meat of the hole. Middle. Minefield is looking less mine-y (less rocks protruding everywhere) and there is a new hole at the bottom. The entrance to the second canyon (I don’t remember the name of the rapid) is now a whole other story. There is a killer sieve on river right and a bigger hole in the main channel. Scout this for sure. Double drop has a right, middle and left (usual) line. At low water, left was still advisable and the wood is gone.

I was cleaning house the other day and came across a few old tapes of some amateur video shot in the late 90’s of me and some paddling buddies back in ole Tennersee. So, I decided to convert a few to digital and upload to youtube.
That said, if you’re real bored and/or real drunk, enjoy…
