Epic Canoe Trip '07 a Success!!!!

This years canoe trip was a success with almost no mishaps.

This years trip started out on Thursday for some of the guys. The rest of us met up with them on Friday as planned and we did still wait for an extra half hour past the said time of noon.

No one even sunk on take off like last year. :)

My weed whacker prop thing kind of worked, but didn't have enough torq or enough clutch power to work properly. Oh well, At least it finally got tested.

The weather was beautiful for the first day. Much sunscreen was needed. Shortly after lunch we saw my mom from the bike trail.

It was a typical day just paddling and watching the scenery.

We made it to the rope swing mid after noon when it was plenty warm enough to want to swim. This swing gives some epic huge air and good swing out over some large sharp rocks.

We made it to our 1st camp site in the early evening and got setup. We were joined here by Gordy, David, and Crazy Dave. Crazy Dave was a blast to hang out with. His opinions about everything were most entertaining. We decided later he could have an awesome call in radio station to rival Howard Stern.

There was a bit of yelling from the drunk locals, but overall an enjoyable nite.

Saturday proved to be another gorgeous day, although there was a wicked bad headwind that just made going forward a pain. If you stopped paddling you would actually be blown back upriver at 1.5mph.

There was more sun this day required many layers of SPF 45.
