Just did a 4 day trip on the Rogue (Graves Creek to Foster Bar) in an cataraft. Does that count?

Put on the river last Friday and took off on Monday. One layover day at Mule Creek. 13 people in ten boats. Great group of folks.

I'll try to post some photos later today.

Our lake is so dry we don't have a marina this summer so it looks like the kayaks are going to see some action. We plan on putting them in the water 4th of July weekend and after I get back from Socal a few fishing trips are in the works. I get some pictures.

Been Paddling since 95.
Bought 3 Kiwi Kopapas and those are the ones we still use today. They don't look as pretty as when new, but I've taken them on everything from flat water to rambling rivers up to classIII and they have always handled great (though ya can't get em to eskimo

)
I've got some pics around here somewhere and will post a few when I find em

I was digging around some of my old pictures and found this one from way back. Short verion of the long story; Honeymoon Cruise with my new wife, October 1992.

Dang, I looked scary back then!

Long story is much funnier!
