close-ups at the tallulah

it was a family affair this last weekend at the tallulah. with maria, philly, shanna, and myself making up the kayaking crew while mateo held down the fort in the shuttle vehicle.
i just brought along the big camera lens on the river this time; so we've got some close-up action.

Here's philly in the mix of the action at the biggest rapid of the day:

Maria impressed us all by firing-it-up with as much grace and style as the boys:

I had the opportunity to get two good shots of Philly, because he, like myself, likes to hike-up and run the big one twice. Here's my little bro putting his shoulders forward for the big hit at the bottom:

I look forward to having some holiday photos up soon. Much love and Happy Thanksgiving.

nearly thanksgiving

the holidays are stomping their way ever closer, as is our launch date for new zealand. we still manage to fit in some good times on the river of course.
this past weekend shanna and I met up with philly, adam red beard, and john bubba roeder for an enjoyable, but overcast tallulah sunday.

Here's shanna leading the boys into the mini slotter:

Stay tuned for another exciting episode. Same blog time. Same blog channel.

back home in the southeast

we made it. a cross-country drive with little if any trouble. shanna's working with nick, maria, dominique, and matteo while i've headed over to asheville to work with daniel and lvm while waiting for some construction gigs to come in.
We made straight for the river of course; so here's Shanna firing up a slot on the beautifully scenic Tallulah river in Georgia:
