OK, who's here right now

[yvr girl]

Check in.

[XemaSab]

1. I am!

:bounce:

[yvr girl]

9. You shouldn't bounce when you eat

It can't be good for our digestion.

[XemaSab]

24. I have found

that peristalsis is aided by bouncing!

:bounce:

[yvr girl]

35. As long as it doesn't cause

reverse-peristalsis

[XemaSab]

46. As long as you can avoid that

you're doing okay.

On edit: Staying away from sketchy fish is a good start on that.

:bounce:

[yvr girl]

50. I came out unscathed

:woohoo:

[XemaSab]

68. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger!

And based on the wimpy arms on that smilie... :hide:

[ZombieNixon]

2. Me, the peep-killer!

:evilgrin:

[yvr girl]

10. What did the peeps ever do to you

I think it makes you an infidel.

[ZombieNixon]

14. An infidel in the eyes of the Church of Peep?

:scared:

:P

[yvr girl]

34. You should watch out

They'll get you.

[ZombieNixon]

36. Yeah, I know, Skittles is gunning for my ass now.

:scared:

[eyepaddle]

3. I am,

I'll probably go to sleep fairly soon though.

But as of RIGHT NOW, I am here! ;)

[yvr girl]

11. Have you ever been paddling up this way

We have rivers in BC

[eyepaddle]

49. In fact you do!

Some world class creeking stuff. I have a video with 10 tips for surviving BC.

10) Beware the Unrunnable, Unscoutable, Unportageable
9) Just because you have helicopter support, does not mean the Helicopter can save from Unrunnable, Unscoutable, Unportageable
8) Take a tarp, then take two tarps.
7) When in doubt: SCOUT.
6) Unless you're headed to the "skook" leave the playboat at home. (I think the Skook is the Skookumchuk, or somesuch--does that ring a bell? FYI Playboating is pretty much the aquatic version skateboard tricks and is considerably less dangerous than "creeking" which is what most people think of when they think "kayaking" creeking involves running steep, pushy and demanding rivers, often miles and miles from any help. Playboating is usually pretty close to the car. I'm a playboater, and a mediocre one at that! --eyepaddle)
5) When dropping into box canyons, always leave one man out.
4) Take an extra long rope, and a couple of breakdowns.
3) Be considerate and kind to the BCers, and apologize upfront for being from America (trust us on this one)
2) Just because there is a road beside the run, does not meant it is a roadside run!
1) Think much, act little, but when you do act, do so swiftly and with much conviction.

I'd hope I could get you to vouch for me on number 3--but as you might be able to guess, a lot of BC runs are beyond my skill level right now

Maybe someday.....

:hi:

Here's a picture of creeking


Here's one of playboating

[yvr girl]

55. I've only been ocean kayaking

I have been rafting though, and the rivers did seem pretty wild. I won a prize for best bruises.

[eyepaddle]

64. There you go! I'm thinking of picking up a sea kayak

for fitness purposes, and stuff to do when the rivers get too low. Once again, BC has Minnesota edged out. Although Lake Superior does receive honorable (very honorable) mention! :)

PS Please check my earlier post--I added some pics on edit.

[yvr girl]

67. It's a BIG lake

I'll check.

[yvr girl]

70. I did NOT go rafting

in a river like the first one.

[eyepaddle]

71. I've never kayaked anything like that either!

I think that's the Baptism River in Minnesota--just a few miles from Lake Superior. The North Shore of Lake Superior is pretty damned rugged (as you can see)

As I hear tell, there are things in BC which make that waterfall look like rain gutter.

Interestingly enough, the second pic is at a man-made course in Wisconsin, and while it does have any "pucker" inducing waterfalls, it does have some tricky spots, I TOTALLY got my clock cleaned on a boulder there last year.

[Droopy]

4. Psychotic trucker checking in.

[yvr girl]

15. I didn't know you were

a trucker. ;-)

[Droopy]

44. Yep

Hell, I thought everybody knew that! Or are you just pulling my leg? :)

[yvr girl]

47. I was implying that the other was a given

:evilgrin:

[Droopy]

54. LOL!

I guess you're right!
