Upper Russell Fork

Ran this for the first time with Bubba, Kerkhoff and Bubba's friend who used to live over on Big Eddy. I learned to always eat before I go out and to not get dehydrated. I got dehydrated and got a killer headache at the end. I had a blast though.

The Epic One, The Rockcastle

This was the turning point. The was the trip made me fall in love with paddling. This trip had it all for me at the time. Better rapids, trip planning, a new place undiscovered by us.

It was Justin, John, Jay, Brian and myself. We camped at Bee Rock and ran the short section on Saturday, camping Saturday night and leaving Sunday. We had 10 inch grins on our faces the whole time. This was also Jay's first river trip.
