Swimming in the Columbia!

So yeah. I have not updated for a long time. And No. It is not because I have not been doing anything. I have been doing a lot. And I do have a TON of pictures and videos of what I have been doing. I just have not been in the mood to post everything. Maybe this is another "turning point" for me to start posting again? Or maybe not. Lets hope it is because everyone can enjoy a little fun filled photos every now and then.

Here is myself and Christina having an enjoyable evening swimming off our houseboat in the Columbia River. What else would you do on a HOT summer Day!?!? Enjoy the photos and post a comment or two?

SUPing... A Good Workout... About it

So as much as I have always made fun of the Stand Up Paddle boarders and the whole idea of the sport, I decided to give it a try (technically this is about my 4th time doing it). The idea of the sport to me is pretty lame unless your truly doing it in the ocean and while surfing. But that being said, it does give you a good core workout which was what Christina and I were going for. In true honesty it is fun enough, for a workout, to do now and then for variety. So anyway here are a few photos of Christina and I at Vancouver Lake, just 15 minutes from our boathouse, doing a little SUPing.

Rogue River Self Support

So Christina and I were able to squeeze out 3 day and 2 night trip on the Rogue River Wild and Scenic section. We were both itching to get on the Rogue River again and knew this would be one of few times that could happen in the near future. Christina is dealing with good old nursing school (Insanely Busy!), and I am continuing my work at Alder Creek Kayak and Canoe in Portland. That said, it was difficult to get our schedules to match up to be able to take a vacation, but it happened. We drove many hours to get on by 1:00 PM on Tuesday afternoon, and take off by 12:30PM to do the LOoooong drive back to P-Town on Thursday(7 Hours home). Enjoy the photos and check out the full album at the bottom of the page!!

PS: We ended up taking the Liquidlogic Remix XP 10 and 9 to be able to carry more equipment. At first I was hesitant, due to wanting to take my Liquidlogic Jefe, but boy did I enjoy the XP 10 and 9. It allowed us to be able to have all the luxuries of a raft. With my experience with the Recreational/Whitewater Remix XP 10 I will end up buying one for all my self supports for the future! Enjoy the Photos!!
