Easter egg hunt

Big Props to John Hart for making such a fun day on the river possible.  Everyone is so happy to be spending a beautiful day on the river with friends.  Plus the fact that we get to Easter egg hunt our way down the river made the day extra special.  My favorite part of the day was at the take out, good people and good BBQ action made for an awesome day.  You don't always have to run the brownstout's to have fun on the river.  To me the people on the river with you make the memories.  

Peeling off to the next egg island for some yummy treats

Tailgate party, oh yeah

Eagle Creek


As  I began my hike I was not expecting such a long one.  But I was determained to make my way up to the top no matter how often I had to rest.   When I finally got to the top My under layers were soaked.  I hiked down and paddled too the pool below Punchbowl.  watching a variety of lines that all looked clean, but still people coming up with a bloody nose, and one face slam short of bloody nose.  I was happy with my decision to skip the first drop.  We made our way down to the pool above Metlako.  Once I was in the pool I wasn't motavated to scout, due to my mindset that I was going to react the same way regardless of the outcome of breaking away.  Chase went first, I next, then followed by Logan, then John. Chase, Logan, and I all chucked our paddles. John held onto his and it broke on impact.  Everyone ear to ear with smiles at the bottom established the fact that we were all stoked as could be with the Winning that had just occurred.

Great line
