Though not a trip report, pictures are better than words... Here are links to a few taken by Jess Stuart. Mango, who was taking pics / video from our group?
Generally, I think that if I have the opportunity to paddle, and I've got something else to do or I feel like I shouldn't go for some reason, then I force myself to go and I always have a great time. So, I guess when in doubt -- Go, Paddle. -- Tommy Hilleke
Yeah, I really "styled" that 2nd run. My only consolation was somehow managing to roll on my first attempt despite getting my skirt blown out on impact. It also motivated me to go back up for a 3rd run, seeking just a wee bit of redemption.
Believe me, my young friend, there is nothing- absolutely nothing- half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats. -- Kenneth Grahame
After the first run, you mentioned something about someone having our runs on video. Who was that mysterious person? Do they have any still photos? Are they willing to share?
The pro photographers at Ohiopyle had a great sequence for both of my runs, but they haven't uploaded them to the internet yet Mrs. slo2rol would like to see pictures and I'd like for her to see the better of the two boofs (2nd run) and Jess Stuart didn't catch that run

Katie was nice enough to take the video with my camcorder. Getting ready to put it on the computer to see what's there. Will try and put on Flickr soon. Let you know later.

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming....WOW What a ride! . . . . . Trying to live up to this, Priceless. As long as you have good insurance!

Sorry about the need to enter your e-mail, but they got a good sequence and I was feeling a little inferior after my first post to start this thread

Thanks Mango and Kat!e for the videography! Always cool to see what it looked like from outside the boat... though I personally liked the view from the driver's seat!
Would personal copies be available?

So now your a video star! E-mail me, I have them both seperated and can send them. They are a little over 5m each. Will your e-mail accept that size.

Jess(ica) Stuart took the photos that were linked in the first post - I followed a link from BT to her flickr set. I'll PM you her e-mail address. My second post just takes you to Ohiopyle Adventure Photography - you know the deal on that - $30 or $45 or $60 for your pics.
