Over the weekend we made the trek
to the last Pit River release. What a trek it was, car troubles and
road construction turned a three hour drive into a six hour adventure.
Forcing positive attitudes about missing a day of kayaking, we made an
adventure of the delays, stopping to enjoy Burney Falls, a wonderful
state park.

We experienced our first of the
season below freezing night at the Pit River, but the sun quickly
warmed things up enough to get motivated for two laps with good
friends. At the falls it was good to see the progession of kayaking.
The first time I did the Pit River six or seven years ago, only a
handful of people were running the main falls. This year lots were
running it, and a few younger paddlers were lapping it more times than
I've ever run it in a day. Go chargers!
