Near Drownings

If you're not careful one of two things will happen on the Deschutes River in Oregon. The first...the river may eat you up. Or, second, bystanders will laugh you off the river because of your blue Zinka sunscreen and Flurescent Pink Bolle sunglasses. This is me as your classic beginner on the river thinking I'm good.	Going in baby!
As you look at this photo closer you might notice my fear as I have no control whatsoever of my little inflatable craft. Right about now I am wishing I had that red helmet on my head and not strapped to the side of my boat. Make no mistake, the Deschutes River is a blast with lots of Class 3 and 4's.	Going over baby!
This shot was taken entering Spencer's Hole on the Santiam River in Oregon. It isn't pretty but at least I have my helmet on this time.	Pushing through the Hole!
One more shot of the hole. I even shot this thing haphazardly backwards. Its all on video tape so I have proof of my insanity.	The Hole's gonna gettcha
This beauty was taken on the Rogue River in Oregon. This time I'm dragging a buddy into the hole with me. River's beware...I'm a crazy man.
