Still Trying

So just as i was about to unload a ton of pictures the blogger started acting funny and my internet time ran out. Instead of sorting any of it out, i decided to go kayaking instead - 5 days spent on the Upper Cherry...i'll get you some of those pictures later but i'll just keep thing in chrono order for the moment.

So we did some running around for a while, a lot of driving, a bit of getting skunked and in the end we put on the South Merced, a run that only our Kiwi companion Jono had done before. As it turned out Jono forgot most of the lines and the "mandatory portage" was "just around this bend" on at least 6 occasions. The river was great. A bit more relaxing than some of the other we've done. Classic boulder gardens, a few big slides, awesome camping, and of course a long ass paddle out just to make keep you honest.
