River Rafting the American River.

08 July 2009
While the plane was in maintenance at Mather in Sacramento we went on a white water rafting trip on the American River. We did the middle fork.


I love this picture. The lady behind me yelling at her husband. The first rapid was a 3+ and started 5min into the trip.


After a class 4 rapid, Sharon had to spit some of the water from the river back into the river.


Getting ready to drop into a class 4+ rapid.


More class 4+. We started at 0800 and finished at 3pm. Awesome day on the water.

The plane is put to bed and its time for some relaxation. The weather is around 87deg and very humid. Almost near 90%. Had a 30 min drive to the hotel, downtown Cabo.

Great view from my window.

The pool has a sit in bar. Might be dangerous. :)


AAAAh. Pacifico and feet proped up. Nice.

The Cabo Wabo. Where is Sammy. I know his Birthday is next week. Bummmer.

Cool posters in the Cabo Wabo.

Marysvile and the Paiute trail

On the 13th of September Sharon, Bandit and myself drove two hours to get to Marysvale Utah. This was our first trip to the Paiute trail. The trail consist of 1900 miles of trail. We did 115 miles in two days. The town of Marysvale sits at 5980 feet in elevation and we drove up to 102oo feet.



Chilling at the Barneys lake. This lake sits at 10050 feet.



Bandit making sure Sharon is staying on the trail and keeping a look out for critters.






Our home sweet home for the night at Webers motel.



These 50 inch wide bridges keep the marshes looking great and keep the quads on the trail.

Idaho Trip to Island Park

Out on the Northern Idaho trail. The bummer of it all is all the trails were shut down by the green people. Out of 256 trails only 4 were open in the area. This area used to be really fun but now it is a drag.



On the trail we say this coyote. He didn't know if he was to stay or run. He stayed. It was cool to watch him. After he realized we were not going to hurt him, he went back trying to get a mouse that was under the downed tree.




After a 56 mile trail ride behind Sharon and her dust.


Since there were no good trails to ride on we went into the Yellowstone National Park. This big guy was walking down the road inches away from the car. He probably weighed more then our car.


Spending a little time at Old Faithful Inn. A building that was made 100 years ago in the middle of the winter, this place was awesome.

Sharon posing with a Elk.

One last picture before we head home.



The Durango and the trailers all loaded up and ready to go.
