Just beginning my 40th river season. Damn lucky guy, but mostly due to knowing my wonderful friends are out there.

The place Carrie & I built in Australia was the cover feature on The Owner Builder Magazine in Australia this quarter. Super fun! Email me if you want a PDF of the mag to read the article and see the photos.

When and if you get to clamber up this incredible side canyon, you may encounter the Matkatamiba Butt Dam.

Nice little sequence of what we do twice a day on any river trip on earth:
The Bag Line.

CONTESTWatch this video, then email me all three answers:

  • What river mile is this?
  • What do boatmen call it?
  • What's my (our?) favourite sound after morning coffee?


FIRST PRIZE goes to the first person who answers all three questions correctly
