Deer Creek

On the way back from Las Vegas I stopped at Darin McQuoid's place. The next day we went kayaking on Deer Creek a tributary to the Yuba. A total of 8 boaters went on this mission. Cody Howard and Will Purett had paddled there before and had some beta. The creek is a fun run with several drops, slides and one portage. The paddle out is on a private lake of a gated community. Watch out for the security guy!

Spring Break #1

Spring Break #1 i spent in and near Las Vegas. Driving there 14h straight from Arcata was an experience itself.

In Vegas I meet with Kim from Montreal, Quebec, Canada. We went Climbing in the Red Rocks. This is a National Conservation Area 20min west of downtown Las Vegas. It's an awesome place to be.

We visited the Hoover dam and I really think they make more money with the tourists visiting, than the do with selling electricity and water. Still it is an impressive dam.

The las night we spent in Las Vegas. The casinos are worth a visit - I myself can't stand this city more than 1 day.
