Possibly the best weekend EVER!

Saturday morning I drove to Hood River for some boating... didn't know a soul, just started driving and found my way to the parkinglot of The Shed where someone had informed me I could meet up with boaters. The run for the day was the White Salmon from BZ to Husum, ending with a lovely lovely 14' waterfall. Saturday night some wonderful people had rigged a party at the River City Saloon in conjuction with the video premier of Liquid Insanity. Sunday morning's run was the West Fork of the Hood.

More later... I'm a bit tired after bothering to upload and label all of the pics below!
