The Rivers are FROZEN!



Out of school and ready to play, a small group of us went up to run the "Truss" section of the White Salmon here in Hood River, only to be denied access because... DUN DUN DUN.. it was FROZEN OVER!


BRRRR!

Desperate to get some exercise, we ran the Orletta, a lower run on the White Salmon. And then my camera died because it was so cold.



Til' Next time! I've got my camera charging! Hope you're out enjoying the river!


Pray for Rain!

Pepper Salt Russell 1994-2009

Pepper Russell passed away on December 10th. She was very sick and we had to make the decision to let her be at peace. She was a river dog and loved going on kayaking trips. She traveled everywhere with my family. Many people treated her like their very own dog and for that reason, I feel the need to post this. We will all miss her smiling face at the put-in's and take-outs. We will miss her disgusting tennis ball in our laps, and we will most of all miss her unconditional love. Please remember all the good times we had with Pepper. She is at peace now.
