"This is my crew. Take ten steps back." --Beck

If you haven't heard that song, you're missing out on what was running through my head on the drive to the put-in.

Nina, Tony, Paul, Olivia, and Michael at Iowa Hill Bridge, the put in for the North Fork American's "Chamberlin Falls" class 4 run.






Lindsey and Katie's crew styling the maneuver at "Slaughter's Sluice", the first class 4 rapid. Nice paddling Anna, Willis, Carolina, and Daniel!



















Greg's crew avoids the notorious toaster slot and sails over the last drop at "Bogus Thunder," one of the biggest rapids on the run.














Splashing around on Indian Creek, a tributary to the North Fork. The slippery hike up to the waterfall was definitely worth it. A little whiff of lemon balm anyone?
































Feel the power of Indian Falls! Here I demonstrate the joy of getting flushed down and then out of a hydraulic. We call it helmet surfing.

















Greg's crew inspires a new rapid to be named: "Inverter Wall." How was the full whitewater experience, gentleman?










Thanks so much for a great day on the river, everyone. Hope to see you all back up here soon.
Flip cup rematch? Horse races? (winks from Lindsey and Scotty)
