The Middle Fork American is an incredible run, class IV with at least one Class V rapid on it. It doesn’t get run often, perhaps due to the 8+ miles of “flatwater” in the center. We had a bit of a slow start due to a car of paddlers that got lost between the takeout…

A few months back my freind Kristi emailed me, letting me know that she had scored a permit for the Rogue River in OR. She and I spent a few months hashing out all the details of the trip, but before long, the trip was upon us. There were going to be 8 paddlers, setting…

Last saturday I had the great pleasure of paddling with a fun group of folks on the gorgeous Chamberlin run on the North Fork of the American. A fun run, even at low winter flowa. There were several cameras along, and these pictures are from myself, Ting, James and Clay. Hope you guys enjoy. The…

Baja California is a wild place, it’s further away in terms of culture and people and standard of living than would seem possible for such a short distance. One could easily see from upscale San Diego suburbs to the squalor of a Tijuana slum. It’s this distance, while not physical, that makes any voyage in…

I’d trolled the internet and my email address book for something cool to do over the July 4th holiday, and got a few responses.

7 or 8 years ago I remember flipping through a paddling magazine, and being captivated by an image (similar to the one on the left)in a advertisement. I remember being captivated by the image, thinking it the most spectacular whitewater I’d ever seen. At the time I probably assumed it was somewhere exotic. Chile, or…

Alternate Titles for this report: Scary Bars in Ensenada Titanic Nissan Sentra: Not intimidating Jeff and Dennis show up at my place around 8 Saturday Morning. We load up into Jeff’s Izuzu, and head to Mexico. From my place it’s a 10 minute drive. We cruise down, and my excitement grows asI keep seeing nice…

..My brother and I took my 5 y.o. nephew ice skating this year for Christmas. Cody did great, pretty timid at first, but he got bolder fast. It was fun, here in San Diego they build an outdoor ice rink downtown. Not quite Rockefeller Square, but very pretty and fun.

My Girlfriend Kim and I recently spent 6 days exploring the Northern part of Baja with friends.   She wrote a trip report, which is here. My comments were added in Green Text. It’s long, but I hope you enjoy it. By Kim Luu and bits by Geoff Jennings Baja California is just far enough away…

Climbing is an amazing sport, and one that normally requires you to rely on your partners literally with your life. I think this helps foster the special friendships that build amoung climbers. The long skinney picture is one I took of my friend Jean on Touchstone, a big wall in Zion N.P., Utah. The Picture…
