Wenatchee River - 2008.05.03
Colin and Eric, love them, but dont get to see them nearly enough. While we were all sitting on our asses this spring break, they were becoming certified white water rafting tour guides.
This wasn’t really that surprising, as I already found out, when while we were all sitting on our asses last summer they pooled their money and bought a sailboat together.
So anyway, me and Vik headed up to Leavenwurth (that quaint retarded fake german town after Steven’s Pass) Saturday morning May 3rd to don wetsuits and see what these boys have been up to.
Ended up covering 16 miles of the Wenatchee River, taking up pretty much the whole day, and having a pretty awesome day. It was overcast all day, and I had to ride Colin’s boat with his dad/my boss giving me peer pressure to ride the front of our raft (bucking bronco style) through a rapid the whole day, but besides that, this was a really awesome day. Thanks Colin and Eric!
Made this animation from some pictures I stole off the website of some person taking pictures as we came in to the last rapid of the day. Colin’s the captain in the back with the funny hat, the rest of the folks are clockwise, Colin’s sister Chelsea, Kneel, Me, Chelsea boyfriend, Craig/boss, and Craig’s girlfriend Sharon. So our boat was all in the family (me adopted).
Vik’s boat was captained by Colin’s girlfriend Ariahna. You can see Buxton with signiture wayfarers+ZincOxideNose look right behind him.. (He was sporting the same look when we all got MIPs at SeaFair last summer..bastard)
One more picture, I just think there’s something funny about Vik going on here that I can’t put my finger on:
Anyone agree?
Thanks again Eric and Colin!
