5 After nine months of boating in the western United States, Mexico, and Guatemala my funds have dried up, so it’s time to go back to work. I am heading out to Colorado to guide for Adventure Bound. This means I will be living in my “second home” once again. As I […]
My Second Home
Boating friend, Paul Heesaker, and film maker is almost done with the movie about Guatemala. The rivers of Guatemala are fantastic and worth conservation efforts, much like the rivers of Mexico. Can’t wait to see how the movie comes out.
Guatemala Movie Almost Done
Many of Mexico’s best whitewater rivers can only be rafted during the monsoon season. This is when little creeks become raging whitewater rivers. We were headed for the put-in of the Mulatos-Aros river to do a one hundred and forty mile exploration. This would be a second descent. Our truck […]
Flash Flood Arroyo – First Cataraft Descent
Here is a recent article on-line at Canoe & Kayak magazine about our detention in Guatemala while trying to boat the Rio Copon. While it was very serious and we were lucky to make it out alive, it is obvious that these people feel very strongly about the local river. […]
CANOE & KAYAK: Guatemala Hostage Incident
Today I found myself doing a river tally for the year 2011; from May of 2011 to today I have rafted 33 rivers, most of which were multi-day expeditions. That is a lot for one year! Fourteen rivers were in the USA and the rest were in Mexico. The most exciting part is that many of […]
2011 RIVER TALLY
Just finished a 16 day private rafting trip down the Colorado River through the grand canyon. What can I say, the canyon is, well, GRAND! Spectacular scenery, interesting side hikes, and cool activities like forming a floating train of bodies in the Little Colorado River. We took our “big” […]
Grand Canyon
Neil just wrote another great post, thanks honey! see below: After running the Cache la Poudre River outside of Fort Collins at high water with some local boaters, we headed for the Arkansas River near Buena Vista. Just in time for (you guessed it) more high water! The flows were finally […]
Surfs Up in Colorado
Just got off the Gates of Lodore through Dinosaur National Monument at some very high flows; about 9,000 cfs on Lodore and near 24,000 cfs through Split Mountain after the Yampa joins the Green. Big, powerful Class III water for the most part. Some big waves to run and some […]
Colorado Whitewater
For those of you following our river journey at www.golightoutdoors.com We’re now heading for the Owyhee River in southeast Oregon. Looking to run the lower canyon, but would be interested in the middle canyon (Three Forks to Rome) if we can get some more boaters. Launch around June 9 for […]
River Journey Continues
Read all about the start of our river journey at www.golightoutdoors.com. We boated the Upper Sacramento river (Cantara), then did a very special anniversary run on the Rogue, and next was the spectacular North Fork Smith.
Great Start!
We are almost ready to take off on another river journey. We will let the river levels determine our path. Here is our general itinerary: May in Oregon/Northern California, June in Idaho, July in Colorado/Arizona, and August in Mexico. I hope you will grab your boat and meet us somewhere […]
