Myself, Jen, Mandy and Donnie just about to start. Looks like a great day to canoe, just watch out for the whale up ahead. |

There's one of those nice trees that you want to be sure to steer clear from. Klingon warning! |

Jess and James in their new Coleman Ram-X. Gary and Danielle with their keg going down backwards as usual. |

Steve-o and Adam. The four of us all happy with mayhem going on behind us. |

Coming up on beer stop #3 to the right. Somehow these guys dunked. Looking back at stop #3. |
 |
 |
Ok, coming up on the trickiest part, the rock turn. Be sure to line up on the inside of the curve. You DON'T want to swing wide to the right on this turn! |
 |
 |
Ok, show time. Don't forget to steer around the people in the water that have already dunked. And this is what your spouse gets while trying hard not to dunk. |

Helpful advice. And this would be beer stop #4, "last call" on the creek. |

Ouch, that had to hurt. This is the end, where everyone waits for the vans to transport their canoes back to "the pit" at the beginning. We did it differently this year and did our own transportation. It's too hectic down there trying to avoid getting trampled when a new van arrives. Then the same thing waiting for a bus, plus you've got all your canoeing gear and coolers, just too rediculous. |
