Rowing the Mississippi

This last weekend, a small group of us drove up to Alton, IL to paddle 12 miles down to the Chain of Rocks. We paddled the oar rigged raft and a kayak to help prepare of the grand canyon. The river was at just about 10 feet and the trolls were a rockin. Great day on the river, with lots of sun. enjoy the pics. Until the next adventure.

Labor Day 2015

So this is a little late, but over Labor Day weekend the crew headed out to the Ocoee. We used the weekend for rowing practice in preparation for the Grand Canyon trip. I used the weekend to get some training laps for the Ocoee race that is coming up in October. We had a big crew with 15 people staying in the cabin. It was a good time with good friends. I was able to work on my photo skills a bit, too. Enjoy the pictures, until the next adventure.
