Thanks for gettin' some pics up. Looks to be pretty sick with some quality drops. Post more pics when you get in there with some more juice.

That's right Bruno, how was the view from the cheap seats? At least I put on, sucka.

I mean it was nice of you to drive your lady there so she could get her run in.

I was in Arizona with Gary and Jen over a month ago but thats about it for boating for me, the ice climbing season has been too good to get away from.

Yes I swam and I am proud to say my first swim happened on that waterfall, running a blind big drop on a first D in a boat that didnt fit me and taking the sharp end was slightly stupid, being upside down and no idea where I am and possibly in a cave, then not getting air on good roll attempts and deciding to roll was smart!


Gary- You just wait Big Horns are going to start to rise and I have a hole with your name on it, its called 3 miles of upper Ten Sleep at 2 feet.

[Gary E]

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz- tensleep, blah blah blah!

aaron looking at my map with all the official beta we made it about 3.5 miles which is over half way. we dropped 540 feet and the first mile was 80 feet elevation drop. the 1st mini gorge was the start of the gradient.

i have been waiting 2 long winters to run this.
if any other class V boaters want to come up and run the shit i would be more than willing to lead you down.

35 minutes from casper.

Tensleep is for pussies.

i'm in for this weekend mike, those pics look sick, i'm stoked dude. And if Deer is in too that would make for an excellent weekend. This school shit is bustin my balls, sorry i couldn't make it up for the 1st D. I'll give you a call this week, or when i get into town on friday. However early you wanna hit it up on saturday, i'm down. I'm ready to work my ass off for any kind of paddlin, just as long as I don't have to read, write or do any crappy calculus problems. should be excellent!

be watching the forcast dav.. looks like some snow might hit us. and the cold weather would nearly stop most of it.... play park is dropping again like last year im sure it will start to rock in a couple more weeks though.

deer should be a positive go next week. we won't beable to get in if any snow hits the ground. needs a good week to dry otherwise we would be hiking over the mountain.

next weekend would be better if it holds out for the week you should come up here early and we will hit boxelder day one deer creek day 2 and secret creek. and day 3
