15 Hours Late

Paddling is one of the best things in my life so sharing that with friends and family in a beautiful location is the ultimate. My buddy from Boston messaged me about returning to a paddling destination we'd visited together six or seven years ago. I jumped on it and pretty soon we had the plan to rendezvous on the river. He flew in with his girlfriend a day before me.

Black Canyon SUP Trip

In a whirlwind tour with a disparate crew of Bay Area paddlers I finished off 2013 and started up 2014 on a standup vacation! For four days we called the Black Canyon home and relaxed in it's beautiful surroundings. Warmed and cooled by the sun and the shade, we camped, we paddled, we laughed, we ate, we soaked, we relaxed. On top of all that, we paddled upriver - one of my favorite things.

Thanksgiving on the river

After an all night drive with canoe and SUP on the roof, I picked up some Dunkin Donuts in Vegas and met Haley & Gillian at the airport. Couple quick stops and we arrived at Willow Beach to launch for four days of paddling, hiking, soaking and holiday eating. Haley and I did this trip last Turkey day with friends and were really excited to return with family.
