2011 Private Trip



  I took my 37' S-rig and a paddle boat and ran an 11 day Grand Canyon river trip with friends and family. We had a great vacation!  My brother Paul took these pictures on the trip.

Working for the Park Service



I had the great opportunity of working with the river unit of the Grand Canyon National Park Service this summer. The first picture shows the warehouse/yard at the south rim. The second picture shows all the NPS row boats at a lunch stop. The boats are all in great shape and loaded light, so that makes for a great trip . Add a great crew, with depth and good backup and you have a great combination.The third picture is of a rainstorm in the canyon. Wonderful, to spend the summer this way!

37 gets upgraded



I took some time and painted the 37 foot S-rig. I also moved the valves on the starboard  side  tube to the outside so they are easier to get to.

Mapping Vegetation with Kass Green

I had the great opportunity to take my 37 foot S-rig down the Colorado river this last spring. This picture is taken at Lees Ferry, Arizona at the start of the trip. My friend Michelle is cleaning off the front deck of the boat. She was a great help on the trip. The trip was 15 days long. We helped Kass Green and her crew with their vegetation mapping project in the Grand Canyon. Great trip!
