No, but I paddled a Stikine, and that's about as close as I'll come unless I get to do heli-support.
It was log and could easily Stick een holes sideways
but oh so soft pencil landings.
There was a national geograpic special on a few years back that was saweeeeet!

I have watched several online video's about the stikine but for some reason I don't think that is what Jon was getting at.![]("smileys/smiley36.gif") Although there is some wicked looking stuff in the video's nothing seems to be out of the ability of several people I know, including you Jon!!!!

Some of those higher flows looked like some big water. The biggest downside for me is that is when the arm decides to separate from the shoulder.
I think the the biggest problem is the long drive, unable to know the flow prior to getting there, and the level can dramatically increase while on the trip. |

What about the TRL guys or Bennett have they done any of the triple crown? or Homathko? Man some serious wilderness... I would really enjoy that as a vacation. J ------------- |
