You river people interest me. I love the idea of whitewater. But I know nothing about it and at 6'3" I don't fit in most boats very well.

Yes river people are def one of a kind bunch and it is still a welcoming community of folks who truly look out for one another! Being tall is not much of a hindrance any longer, boat design has improved greatly!! I used to be an instructor and owned a school for a few years, if you are ever up in Colorado, I would gladly take you out.

The kid loves her "fort" and after a year if hard use, it's holding up perfect. 3/4 EMT that rolls out of the way, the hammock bit is out of cordura. A pool noodle with a slit down the side acts as a roll out guard. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1436891559.774363.jpg

3/4 therma rest makes it super Cush and her frozen sleeping bag makes it just like home.

Lo siento. Ive been hammered this summer inbetween work and fun. I spent more time sleeping in the van and at the station than I did in my bed. I working away on a few things before another trip in October and Ill try to post some pics. No real big changes, just dialing in the interior. I have gotten the opportunity to replace...
1. both house batteries. decided to take a $hit on a ski trip in Crested Butte, super fun crawling around in the snow getting to that frame rail. Apparently had been cruising on one battery for a bit. The starts in Jackson Hole mustadonediditin.
2. starter. went with a DB superdutytough**** one. It whips the 7.3 over like it has nothing else going for it.

I hate spending money on crap I cant see. I wanna drop cash on bling, bumpers and body work, not something hidden somewhere. Its BS.

I didnt get out a ton, but enough that all my 3 year old wants is "more rafting, more camping, more rapids, more squirt gun fights". Doing sumin' right. Ill be at work Friday. Have fun.

Damn those bling killers!!!! I would love some bumpers and a 4x4 conversion but my clinic is eating me alive, alas I will have to wait until I can bleed my patients (literally) for some more van funds :) Get those rug rats started early that way they can row when they are teens and you can sit back and enjoy the ride!!!
