Pictures from the last year!

Hey guys! Since I don't have trip reports for any of the trips I have done in the last year, I thought I would post a few pictures of what I've been running! Some of the pictures are from trips I have been on, but are of friends. Enjoy the history!



Cable Drop rapid, Skykomish River, WA, Summer 2006. One of my first days on real Class III!



Josh Crossman styles Husum Falls, White Salmon River, WA, August 2007. It was his first day running Husum, stuck it to the man, all five (?) times!

Welcome to my new blog!

Hey Everyone!

So, the time has arrived that I feel it's necessary to start logging my days on the river, and posting videos, pictures, and worthwhile links for people to see. This will become a timeline of boating related events in my life, including new boats, gear, jobs, etc. Over the past three months, I have become totally immersed in the sport of whitewater kayaking, and I hope to continue this passion for many years. I currently work for Seattle Raft & Kayak, in Sand Point Magnuson Park, an awesome shop that has given me the opportunity to spread my love of the water to many people, as well as the time off to go play! I hope that you enjoy the posts!

Paddle Happy,
Ashley
