1st trip to the USNWC

I had my first session at the new whitewater park tonight. I had a blast. It was very intense. I mostly stayed on the “Wilderness Channel”, it was the most docile. At the end I paddled the “Big Water Channel”. It was the toughest thing I’ve ever done. I flipped after the “M-Wave“(which is frighteningly huge) and went down the next drop upside down. I banged my shoulder on a rock while upside down. It’s no too bad. At the very end I flipped again and basically ended up swimming into the lower pool. Someone took a shot of me going into the M-Wave so I hope to get a copy and post it up here. I’m very excited about the center finally opening up. They do raft trips too so if you are in town, you should take a run.

If I had a forcefield, it would look like this.

The Rig Is Working Great!

I am starting work on a project that I started last year. When I pulled the model up it totally freaked out. I think it needs a little work.

Oregon Trail!!

I found a place online that you can play the game I grew up losing to. Oregon Trail.  I played it this morning and got whooped pretty good again. I only made it halfway. Has anyone ever beaten this game?
