This years Rain Gods gave us less than complimentary river levels but that didn't stop competitive boaters from all around the northwest from showing up and stomping some of the areas best whitewater. Thanks to all participants who showed up and showed their loyalty to the regional boating community and a special big up to Next Adventure for their continued generous support of BBQ and t-shirts at this years event. Thanks also to Zach Collier and NWRC for helping out with evening festivities.

Hey Tim,
ReplyDeleteIt's Kim Russell... Looks like you put a photo of Roberta Grant up where you were meaning to put one of me. Just a heads up... I'm in the yellow boat with the white helmet. Red pfd, yellow drytop. I'm in the boat that goes backwards through Ram's Horn. Could you change the pic?
Also, I believe Lance Reif got 2nd, not Laurence...
Cheers!
Bitter about laurence's 3rd place showing. Part of my own self esteem is tied to his performance in extreme races. How could he do this to me?

Sorry Kim, I lost my Sunday's final times sheet and was going off of photos and registration forms. I will surely change the pic!
