Sorry Dave, I didn't feel like going for strippers and drinks. ------------- "Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and go do that, because what the world needs is people who have come alive." ~Howard Thurman |

Nice writeup and pics Brett. Glad to hear that you guys had a good trip on Fools. Lower Matheny turned out to be surprisingly excellent on Sunday, despite the looooow flows. ------------- "That boated a lot better than it looked." "It always does until it doesn't." |

Thanks, Ben. Still haven't done Lower Matheny. Some wood in a couple places in Fools, but overall a very high quality canyon albeit short. The wood shouldn't be a problem if you have the skills for the run, for anyone wondering. Scout when necessary. It's a very committing place and if you lose your stuff you're probably going to have to swim out.  ------------- "Don't ask yourself what the world needs.
