Back in Boise

Its been fantastic to be back to Boise, even if it will only be for a brief time. I have been busy working on Alzar promotional projects….burning our new DVD, researching schools to send information to, and organizing our Costa Rica information. I’ve managed to squeeze in time for some kayaking on the Payette, my favorite river system. The river levels are all good right now, much better than California. I have also spent time hanging out at my local favorite hangouts and catching up with friends. I’m happy to report that the dollar theatre is still in good hands and playing movies for a buck. Sean gets into town on Saturday and we will likley do more of the same…kayaking,movies, Alzar.

I’m looking forward to my time in North Carolina and my favorite girls at Green Cove. Just a few more weeks!

Oh the coldness...

Sean here…

Kristin and I just finished our ACA course in Durango, CO. When we first arrived, a week ago, we were excited to see the river at a medium level, with sunny skies.

Then the weather took a turn for the worst. It got cold, and snowy, and after a winter in Costa Rica, we were not too excited to see gray skies. Definitely not motivating weather for paddling. We were fortunate to find a cheap hotel room in town for the week, and the course was very educational.

After the course wrapped up, we headed into San Juan National Forest and spent a couple of nights camping at this beautiful lake in the shadow of the continental divide. We had hoped to paddle the Piedra River, but the road accessing it was closed. We had a good Alzar business meeting, and paddled this afternoon at the whitewater park back in Durango.

Well, will close for now.
