Before making to the river myself

Before I was able to get on the river myself I managed to get down to the Salida 3P. I was initially planning on completing myself, but I was distracted by the lovely act of someone stealing my bike. Which makes the second park of the competition pretty hard. So I was out of it because of having no bike and boat. It was really fun to take photos though.

A familiar face that I'm still wondering who taught her to cary skis

I believe that it was blown up before the race, otherwise that would have sucked
