November, 2013 (spring in Australia.
CALL FOR GRAND CANYON STORIES, PHOTOS, AND/OR VIDEOS!
So, here we are, end of the 2013 US river season, and nearing the end of the Aussie one as well, though lots of other great rivers to run in the rest of the Southern Hemisphere!
Just finished some really fun guide's schools and swiftwater rescue courses. Now to the editing and writing. Met a reporter bloke (Aussie for "guy") at the local put-in, working on a river guiding story for the ABC radio (like NPR in the US). Did an interview which was a blast. You can hear it by clicking the mp3 play button below this text box.
In the meantime, I'm working on the latest iteration of the 83 high water video, with some cool new footage. But, its missing some things I'd like to see.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE A CONTRIBUTOR TO THE 83 VIDEO?
If you have any photos or video footage, please send it along. I'd love to use it (and credit you as well!) You get a free copy of the whole video if your stuff is accepted. What I'm really looking for at present includes:
* A photo of the Granite (Deer Creek) narrows, high and low water.
* A photo taken from Helicopter Eddy or the left bank there, ideally looking upstream
* A photo of the old stone water gauging station on river left at Lees Ferry, taken from Lees.
* A photo of the Ross Wheeler, ideally taken from just about the entry of Bass rapids
* Photos of the mouth of Havasu, the old "upper" National Canyon camp, and Diamond Creek take out from the middle of the river.
OR, CONTRIBUTE ANYTHING AT ALL ABOUT THE GRAND CANYON, MOSTLY DEALING WITH THE COLORADO RIVER
I'll also send you a free copy of the updated 83 high water video if I publish your content on the website.
Happy river running to all!
