Upper Yellowjacket Creek
Finding a rarely run section of river, about which I had heard nothing, just doesn’t happen that often. It started off quite simply. During July of 2008, a huge snowmelt year, Mike G and I headed up to paddle McCoy & Yellowjacket Creek. Driving up and down NFDR 28, in search of the access, we [...]
Costa Rica – warm everything & heaps of good times

I just happened to be in Hawaii last week when [...]

When waterfall scouting goes wrong…
I’ve been looking at one particular waterfall for about a year now. Part of it looks fantastic and part of it looks significantly less fantastic. Getting there involves a remote hike and rappel into a steep, narrow gorge. Loose rock abounds. Last week, on my way out of the gorge, as I was ascending a [...]
