Webmaster Note: Thanks for the heads up. The form error has been corrected.
Hey Eugene, just a heads up, it looks like the ability to sign up for your contest isn't working.
So does this mean I'm the only one to enter? ;) Fingers crossed for one of the dry tops. Mine is beat.
Thanks and good luck with the e-zine. I am enjoying it so far.
"Early on that day we came across a fresh dead body that was still in neoprene and had been buried under rocks...it showed us just how delicate life is. Later on we found out that there were two dead in the same pile of rocks..."
--Sam Sutton on paddling Siberia's Argut River in July
"To leave a patient on the side of a river while you get your gear out of the car and set up a rescue system you read about in a book is simply not good policy"
--Duke Bradford, owner of Arkansas Valley Adventures on the rescue of a 13 yr. old girl from Clear Creek on 6/17/10. A rafting guide employed by Bradford was arrested for interfering (read=assisting) with the rescue.
I was a god-damned poster child for bad judgment...dumb, but what can you do when you're hypnotized by a force of nature?"
--North Fork Payette pioneer Doug Ammons on being lured in by record high water to come out of Class V retirement and paddle the Lower Five at a record 9,000 cfs (and subsequently swim).
"My initial goal was to not embarrass myself."
