Hey, sounds like you had....fun :-D. Sore means you had too much of a good time, or a very bad one. Anyway...Lets here some political-ness. You need to talk about Fat Head Kennedy, John Fonda, and The Iraqi elections....Talk about it...Turn on fox news and get pumped up lol.

i'm jeaalous. can folks with cp go too?

I want to go fishing in the florida keys a-la hemingway

Rafting the Ocoee was one of the best times I have ever had. Never made it out to Arizona, but it can't be much better than the Ocoee. When I went it was right before the '96 Olympics and that was the river they used for the kyaking and other water events, so they let the dam go and the water was faster than ever. Good times, I highly reccomend it to anyone. Good to hear you had fun skiing, Denny!

Matthew - Of course you could do it. They would put you in a bi-ski and tether you down the mountain. There were folks in bi-skis who went on more difficult slopes than I did. You could go fishing in Florida. All it takes is determination and money.

Al C. - As great as the Ocoee is, it doesn't hold a candle to the Colorado through the Grand Canyon. I don't think the Ocoee has any rapidS classified higher than Class IV. The Colorado has class V rapids like Lava Falls. Awesome! I think the waiting list for the Grand Canyon is over two years now.

That is majorly cool! My friend used to do that kind of skiing too, which just amazed me cuz I'm scared to death of skiing! and this place and the last place I lived, I'm like 12 miles from a mountain.
You're very brave.
