"Blast Off"

This trip has been phenominal so far; we have a great group of kids and the rivers are gorgeous and fun. I'm having a great time learning how to do tricks and different types of rolls. Every kid in the group is extremelly talented and has the ability to shar and teach their knowledge to everyone else. Just the other day I went creek boating- the water was so clear I could see all the way to the bottom.

Currently we are in Northern California paddling rivers like the Klamath and teh Cal-Salmon. Bigfoot is a big topic of conversation up here in the woods; today we spent time in a town called Happy Camp which has a huge statue of Bigfoot. There are eleven people total on this trip and everyone is extremely friendly and funny which makes it really hard not to have a good time. The food has been great, and I'm learning a lot, and I'm having so much fun.

P.S. Today I got a rad ski jacket from a yard sale. Its cropped, 3 quarter sleeves, and hot pink!

Sounds wonderful and busy. Glad to get some news of the trip...we have been anxious to hear from the group. Can't wait to find out which lucky family gets to take ownership of the pink ski coat.
