I've toured it the only way I want to - with my own two arms and my kayak under me...
Did you go the whole length? Some of the videos I've seen of people going down the river in a raft look too rough for a kayak.I've toured it the only way I want to - with my own two arms and my kayak under me...
When I kayaked it, it was much rougher. The releases from Glen Canyon Dam are much lower now because of the drought conditions. We were lucky in that they doubled the release and released from the bottom, so we got cold, blue water instead of the cafe' au lait you usually see. Out of 25 boaters, I was one of five who never had to exit their kayaks. I was the first to take a low-volume kayak down the Canyon. I've kayaked some very rough water. The Upper Gauley was more technical and dangerous than the GC. Probably the worst was Town Creek at flood over by Guntersville. The water level was double that of the Ocoee, channeled into a little creek bed. Here I am below Jawbone on the Chatooga at high water. At this level, the rafts don't run the next rapid, Sock 'Em Dog. This level, IIRC, was 2.85' at the Clayton Bridge. If you run the middle, you die. I managed to beat my way over to the right bank, with some difficulty. There was much more water than in this Youtube clip...Did you go the whole length?

I'm itching for another rim to rim to rim GC hike. I have lodging at the north rim for next May. We'll have to see if my daughter really trains for it now that her hip surgery is in the rear view mirror.I've toured it the only way I want to - with my own two arms and my kayak under me...
What kind of weird graph is that?46% of Americans are finding they want to switch back to gas — according to the news report.

My wife keeps saying I should write an autobiography. I tell her I wouldn't not know where to start. BTW, that was low water when the raft got stuck. I made my sneak down the right side and ended upside down in a pocket in the wall which is just a dark spot in the video. I quickly determined there was no room for a paddle roll, so I reached over to the wall and climbed up it, righting my yak in the process. When I surfaced, there were several other yakkers rushing to my rescue. The funny thing is that there's only one more rapid - Shoulderbone. It's normally a tame little class three. On that day, it had grown teeth and was a V. I slipped down into it sideways and immediately realized my mistake. According to counts I was given, I rolled 13 times. Getting up was no problem. Staying up was. I finally dug out backwards. I heard one boater say "I can't believe I was thinking of going in there to play." At the big swimming rock at the bottom, the trip leader (I was hitchhiking with a raft group my daughter used to work for) paddled over and said "You may be 50, but you've still got it." One of the nicer things ever said to me. However, Liz had already started her hike back up Mouse Creek Trail and didn't see either my 'Dog run nor Shoulderbone. I resolved then that risking my life like that wasn't fair to her and gave it up. A week later, on the Ocoee, which I know like the back of my hand, I was playing in Hell Hole at the bottom, when an incompetent Kayaker, with a rubber ducky on a spring glued to the top of his helmet crashed in on me. I saw him just in time to keep him from taking my head off, but he crushed my left side, breaking four ribs and displacing the bottom. I had to rent a hospital bed for four weeks. After that, my boating was tandem-canoeing on the Nanny and canoe-camping in the BWCA and Quetico Ontario Provincial Park...Another great story. You have lived a memorable life.
Years away from production, though.Japan’s manganese-boosted EV battery hits game-changing 820 Wh/Kg, no decay
Manganese anodes in Li-ion batteries achieved 820 Wh/kg, surpassing NiCo batteries’ 750 Wh/kg.
I'm excited by all of the battery improvements coming, but I have to laugh at this one: LiMnO2 as I'd call it a Lemon battery.
