2012 Paddling Season Has Begun

Well ... it's been a while since I posted last. Not much was going on as I was getting stuff ready to go on my first paddling trip of the season in between doing some studio photo shoots.

This sums up my roadtrip in a nutshell:

two countries ... one province ... six states .... almost 4000km (2500 miles)

five days of amazing paddling with great friend ... all y'all know who you are

trip leader on the Little in the Smokies with ten of my Canadian friends.

two swims ... one on the Little ... one on the Tellico

lots of warm sunshine ... face burn

jealous of a twelve year old running the shit including Bald River Falls http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7056/6836976850_6cf286e081_b.jpg

lots of great photos taken ... see http://www.flickr.com/photos/cmnypny/collections/72157629221702696/

nice comfy bed to sleep in thanks to Karen and Jeff

lots of great southern BBQ ... have not got on the scale yet :(

onsite tech support call for wireless printer problem in North Carolina

Canoe Movie 2 Premier night in Knoxville

long ass eighteen hour day driving almost 1600km (1000 miles) in one day including a boat delivery for Taylor in WV

scoring a 60 ouncer of Bacardis at the duty free for twenty bucks

making it to the Nexus line at the boarder with four minutes to spare before it closed for the night and just getting waved through

waiting another 257 days to do it again for ALF 2013

waking up in your own bed and realizing you dont have to go to work .... pricessless
