Floatin'

 Weekend mission down the Snake.  

Early....

 Getting up at 4 to ride at 5am isn't always easy, but always so damn worth it!  100 miles deep and back to the office banging away at the keyboard by 10 am.  Not too bad!  

Hop, skip, and a jump...

 Found a lil gem of a fishing stream 15 minutes door to door from the house the other night.  Was pumped.  

TNR

TNR's have been damn good lately.  Lots of light, no need for a jacket all the way til dark, and empty roads (due to bridges being washed out!)

Good to the last drop..

 Things that don't happen very often....., all the grandparents in one place.  PRetty damn cool.  

 Pool time with McNulty gang.

 Some of the lil kid crew in various forms of chaos.

 Love you Dashman.

 Lac Tremblant is one cool place.  

 Taking over captain duties.  

 Wind in your hair.  

Lac Tremblant rules

 More from the epic wedding that was....

These two are already good buds with only a lot more adventures and awesome times to be had together in the future.  

 The best man, probably no more than an hour before the wedding started.  

 Marco walking Rena down the isle.  

 Dash the ring bearer got a bit of stage fright, so, Chels walked him down! 

 It is official.  What an amazing ceremony.  Love you guys.  

 Was pretty cool to have my parents there as well.  

 The crew.

Smooth Dash, real Smooth. 

Marco and Anna tie that big knot....

Welp......, it happened, and it was well worth the wait.  

Finally just getting around to documenting the blast of a wedding weekend that was up in Quebec celebrating Marco and Anna.  

The crew, taking the boat taxi over to Anna's parents place.  

 

 Not exactly roughing it. 

 Zoe leading Dash.

Great seeing old friend, Meri!

More Kiwi's

 Sue and Colin, my host parents when I lived in New Zealand visited.  Awesome seeing them!  

Until next summer....

 Part of the crew, suiting up for a bit of a hike up to the big ol cave.  

 Said cave....it is rad.  

The crew.......Awesome trip boys. 

Wanna go again next week....

 The Smith River corridor is such a rad place.  

Rock Creek beach camp.  

 This pic says it all.  

 Evening magic.  

 Rob Robinson day in full effect.  

 Making the river crowded!  

 Shading up.  

It starts with a permit.....

 Hard to believe, but it had been three summers since we had secured a permit for the Smith River up in Montana.  What starts out as a bunch of good buds applying for a river permit in January, turns into what you see in this and other blog posts to come.  Utter awesomeness.  

Packing up and getting ready to head north.  

 Always a mandatory dinner and beverage stop in WSS.  

 Love this lil town.  

 And boom!  Paradise for 5 days.  

 We maxed out our permit this year at 15 guys and 7 boats.  It was as always, truly amazing.  

Passing through

 Some buds from New Zealand came through the other day on a trip up to the top of Alaska on their motos.  To say I wish I could have jumped on the trip with them would be an understatement!
