We are back in GA. I hated to leave Colorado, it is the most beautiful place I have been. I can not wait to go back. Here is a quick recap over our last days.
WED-Went to OBJ ended up trying to get some guys truck out of the Slate River and did not get to run it, it will have to wait until next year
THURSDAY- Drove to Vail and watched the Teva steep creek race and camped at Sylvan Lake
FRIDAY- Evan & Nate ran Homestake, I swam, but we had safety set and all was well, but I was humbled. Nate Ran it all and made it look easy.
SATURDAY- Went to the Teva Mt. Games, won a new pair of Teva Shoes and got a free pair of Native sunglasses. Watched the kayaking free style events, womens bouldering, dog comp, and the fly fishing events. Then we left Colorado and drove through the night back home

Pine Creek and Numbers of the Arkansas
Nate, Evan and our new friend Riley spent a few days on Pine Creek and the Numbers section of the Arkansas. These runs range from class IV to -V. This is classic Colorado big water. Every one had good runs with no swims. The water was high and cold but it was a great time. Jon and Liz got some great pictures of our run.

Cascades 1-25-2009
Who: Bert & Evan
We met in Cartersville and left at 9am to drive to the NOC and pick up Bert's new boat, a Jefe Grande. After picking up the boat we drove up to the cascades for an elf run. The Cascades can be run much lower than people think. The level was around 130cfs when we put on above the Horns of God. This was Bert's first run down the Cascades. He had a good line on the Horns and the slide after, but got flipped in some funny water. He tried to roll but swam to avoid going over the next rapid upside down, which was a good call, and made it to a big eddy on river left. I ran past him trying to catch is boat before it wash down river but it got pinned on river right. This gave us an opportunity to practice retrieving a pinned boat, which we freed in a few minutes. After this we called it a day and hiked back to the truck. When we got back to the house we outfitted the new Jefe in 20 minutes and said goodbye to the diesel forever.
