Buzz kill!?!

So I had one of the 3 best trips I have ever had in my life which I am not going to write about yet, but soon. Instead I am going to grip about the buzz kill. So I was so high from the trip I got off of it could not have gone better only to get home last night to find that some one had stolen nearly 200.00 dollars of my tip money. So I left a really nasty note for all the world to read in the bunk house. This morning I got up to de rig the trip only to find out that someone thought that it was ok to just take my bike that I built. Even after I left a note for those whom seem to think that that is ok just before I left on my trip. Already this season one of the guides took my bike without asking and broke it. Leaving me to foot the bill to pay for it. So at this point I left a really angry note with many four letter words for all to ready and cower before. Now all of the new guides and some of the second year returning guides are avoiding me for Marcus is Angry and about to start taking their gear and locking it up till people get it into their heads that what is not theirs is off limits. I will post about my trip in a few weeks when I get the video that will explain it better then words.


P.S. it has been roughly 4 hours and still no bike or money. I know that the money isn't coming back but whom ever took my bike will feel my rath.

Safety of friends below

So this week I was on a 5 day solo trip My self and 3 gentlemen in there mid to late 50s. We had good times They taught me how to make contact explosives and other such things of that nature. We met up with two other guides on an S rig for rapid day. It is really reassuring to have good friends like Brie and Lorenzo running safety for me below the big drops ready to pluck myself and those that are with me out if I should happen to flip. As well this last week I had even more assurance in the rapids which was nice being that the water was even higher then my previous trip. I had Brian riding along with the parks service ready to snatch me up. Thanks Brian.
