Tom, Sandrine, Hank, and Eric and also Kenny!
I think it has been a great season both on the Cheat and the UY and would like to give my hearty thanks to you all for such great times on the river! Coming off the UY makes me feel like a privileged member of an exclusive club of special paddlers with both the skills and commitments to challenge themselves successfully (and safely) by running those rivers. The highlight was running the UY on the hottest day of the year (or decade or century). Or maybe it was avoiding the double pin that turned into a triple pin after I was further downstream! But that is another story.
Best,

Thanks Tom and all the UY Trainers for a great couple of months. Also, thanks to Sandrine, Hank, and Eric for getting me safely down the river. I can't wait for the next LAKS adventure.

I can't believe I finally got to see and to paddle the lovely and legendary UY!
