Chile Part 1: Low Water

After a sweet late-October run of the Dryway and a high water lap on the East Branch of the Pemi, I packed my kayak in a bag, batted my eyelashes at the American Airlines check-in counter lady, and checked a (full and very overweight) ski bag and kayak free of charge all the way to...

First Couple Days in Chile

I'll be honest, when I was growing up in New York City, I didn't envision spending my 24th birthday living in a van in Chile...but here I am. Not much of an update, just some photos from the last week -- uploaded from the back of the van at the Rio Fuy takeout.    

Putnam Creek, NY

This past weekend was a Raquette off-week, so I figured there'd be nothing to do but Deerfield Fest. Then, lo and behold, it dumped rain on Friday. I refreshed the radar every ~5 or so minutes through the whole work day and it was looking really promising right up until 6pm or so. Then the... Continue Reading →

Raquette Livin’

Well, summer time is here in New England...which means 13 days of Hartlands in a row interspersed with the bi-weekly Raquette releases. I went up to the Raquette this weekend and it was everything I remembered from last year...What a fun river. Good times were had by all. Colton Falls has changed a little bit,... Continue Reading →

The North Fork

The North Fork of the Payette is everything it's cracked up to be. Thanks so much for being such a supportive community, Banks. We'll miss you, Stephen.

Yellowstone

According to Google, it only takes about 4 hours to drive from Jackson to Bozeman...but apparently they don't expect you to stop every time you see a runnable rapid in Yellowstone. We stopped and looked at the Firehole River, a two mile stretch of IV/V whitewater through a beautiful canyon with 8-10 distinct rapids. This... Continue Reading →

Welcome to Wydaho

After Fibark, I rallied back to Boulder and spent another couple nights in the Front Range. Scotty, Dodge, and I ran Blackrock into Lower Clear Creek, and the next day we met up with team Ledyard to run the marathon stretch of the Poudre, after which I drove the seven hours to Salt Lake. Ben... Continue Reading →

Vermont, the Waterfall State

I spent a few days this spring tracking down waterfalls in Vermont with the help of http://northeastwaterfalls.com/ and some beta from Ryan McCall and ended up with some awesome drops, some of which we ran and some of which I need to go back for. I scouted Dewey Mills on the Ottaquechee at high water... Continue Reading →
