Alright hu to the go,

keep the trash talking up, cause in the deep inner place a silent entity is listening and watching.  nothing is hidden.  and then one day there you will be surfing that spot, cartwheeling like a rag doll, wishing you could take back all the ego boosting and bashing.  that day is judgement day on the river and comes regardless of who you be.  just know it waits in silence, listening.

I will be the first to admit that the stupid piece of flat water called Lake Josephine should not be there.  But it is... along with some very classic bigwater giants.     There is a big difference b/w what some call fun on tum and others think of when you talk bout THE TUMWATER.  It's the mega shiaz when it goes big.  AND requires cahones, luck and a bombproof roll, to sit at the table and eat it with that amazing piece of whitewater.  In fact, that frigging lake is a good place to settle thy thoughts and calm the nerves as one tries not to contemplate the consequences of screwing yourself in one of the biggest single rapids in the state at 13k (which happens to be a fairly regular occurrence every single spring).  Maybe you could check this next year n then talk that shiaz.  I will hold the camera. 

 I should note that it isn't my fav though...

I like robe canyon and earnies canyon as local options. I think tumwater is fun at higher levels - and to correct Hugo, there are 4 rapids on tumwater, unless you are too much of a pussy to run exit drop. 

You never asked me what my favorite river is....

 Mamma always said " if you can't say anything nice, don't say nuthin at all"

 IF your purpose is bashing / belittling / making rude remarks, there is a place for that, its called internet chat rooms. Please keep it there! If the best part of your day is making a disparaging remark to others, with no intent on reading what others say? Shut up! and do it elsewhere. I for one am tired of it.

Hugo is my hero... he's a rockstar and getting bigger all the time!

It is Ok to be anonymous (right James), anomalous, and amoral as long as you amuse and ameliorate.

I feel that some folks out here need a sense of humor. But please - keep taking sir hugo seriously because its makes for some very amusing threads.

 When you washed then Ash, did you use liberal amounts of detergent (preferably corrosive) and HOT water?

That is a ways up, but it sounds great.   I would check it out, but my cousin Co-owns Three Rivers.  I will be there the weekend after Memorial Madness!!

  Last year we met a great guy from Missoula that was down for hte day, he helped us with lines on the White Pine Section!  It is a great scene! and the river rocks!!!

I am sorry to hear that shuttle.  Hopefully you will be re-establish proper command of the situation.  I find that you are one of the few folks here that I can relate to...you know, a true intellect! 

I also think that Daryl and Hardboof are pretty jazzy as well.  I can tell that the river has made the few of you tough...tough as nails.

SHIt LeAF,
