First Post since Spring. Wet spring and early summer, hot and humid mid-summer but steller MTBing conditions. Krazee Days & hot evenings in The Alpine. Glen Alpine that is...

It has been some crazy months since my last post. 

Just when I start thinking I have got things figured out and things will be alright I feel like the rug gets pulled out from under me and I go falling backwards (again) with my arms stretched straight out and my hands doing little circles in the air...

I just tell myself, leave the past in the past and move forward - the other options are unacceptable but it is really hard not to let IT get to you. I'm not always successful but I try. 

Anyway I feel like I have not let the BS get in the way of Kayaking and MTBing. And so it goes, Day by Day:

Upper Creek with Keith Raker and Edger. It was low water but still fun, to me anyway...

Thanks for the pic JC!!

 Layla and I caught Wilson Creek at about 10 or 11 inches. It was a Blast, just like old times. Gaston was missed, if he had been there it would have been like 1999 again!

 I got to do an after work paddle with a father and son and 2 young friends, all from Asheville. The dad had really done a great job kayak mentoring the boys. We did 2 runs at 4" or 5" together and they were a lot of fun and impressive. One of the 15? year old's paddled the second run in an OC1 and he styled it as well if not better then he did in his kayak.

 2 runs On the Watagua with Layla, Sara Larsen, Take-Out Dave and a few guys joined us for the second.

Lake James paddle and swim day with Noel. 6miles over 5 hours = lots of fun
