Oh Deschute!

So American Rivers has their annual river trip which Rebecca gets invited on, (cause she rocks) and thusly, so do I. Which is very lucky for me, as these river trips not only are stacked with cool people who know a ton about the river, surrounding environment and proper paddling behavior, but also they pack a fantastic array of meals each and every day.

I do love the food, as does Rebecca as we can see below:














This year they chose the Deschutes river to do a 4-day rafting/kayacking/paddling trip down. Unlike last year, (which was on the John Day and required 4 days of paddling against headwinds, using a groover, and covering major nautical distances) this year's trip was going to be mellow and relaxing.














Luckily, there was never a shortage of good booze.




















Beck and the river....and the steel reserve. Classy.
