“The morning sun breaks over the shadowy hills and begins to slowly evaporate the dew off of our tents. After we finish our last sip of hot chocolate, we stretch our shoulders in preparation for the day’s paddle. Today’s gonna be a good one, we can tell  by the cloudless sky, slight breeze and intriguing bend just downriver from camp.

These times filled with anticipation, clarity and tranquility are the backdrop for the natural spectacles, self-discoveries, challenges and triumphs that flood this journey—things that will continue to re-appear in our mind’s eye, long after we’ve said goodbye.”
