Merry Christmas from Oregon!

Hey everyone! I just got back from a visit to Eugene and boy am I tired.  My sister Kim (a former Liquidlogic lady) just had her gallbladder removed(OUCH!) and is now snoozing on the couch as I type this.  Send her good ju ju if ya can afford to...she's not exactly feeling her best! :(  

Despite gallbladders going rogue and needing be taken out, this year has been pretty friggin awesome and I wanted to say thank you to everyone that made it so awesome- Liquidlogic, Peak UK, Astral, Aldercreek, Girlrider, and my family.  Without your help and support, I couldn't do this!  Be on the lookout for cookies...*cough cough* did I say that out loud? :D  

Here are the highlights of 2008- 

The West Coast Women's Paddling Festival in Hood River, Oregon (Below)

The finalists of the ladies 8 Ball Race

Me having fun in the Crossriver on Skook(Below)

Last Tango above 50/50 on the Ashlu (Below)

Gotta love silty rivers...

The always fun, Callaghan Creek

Some drop on the Ashlu...they all are beautiful

To run or not to run...that is the question at 50/50

Smiling for the camera is easy when on the river....

My best friend, partner, international traveler, and computer specialist....Josh Mckeown

2009 will be another great year!  Thank you all for your support and kindness on and off the river.  Merry Christmas!
