2007 Guide Olympics

It's too beautiful outside to stay indoors! For a little extra fun during this off season, a couple guides of River Riders decided to create The 2007 Winter Guide Olympics! Meghan the Floating Turtle and Justin the Aerial Kayaker put on quite a show indeed! After many runs they wound up finishing with the same score......pains!
At 5 degrees and an even colder wind chill, here is what we saw!


Outch!!!!

Compact What???
Until our next no Brain' er, see ya out there. -Simon

Blizzard of 2007


Snow in Harpers Ferry, WV
Well, it looks like the blizzard of '07 turned into 2 inches of snow and a bunch of ice in Harpers Ferry. We decided to take advantage of it by getting outdoors and enjoyed a little ATV riding. We rode to the river to check it out.


The Shenandoah River had a thin sheet of ice all the way across. It was beautiful. However, this beautiful winter day reminded me that summer is a ways off.

  I hope you are all enjoying the great outdoors during this beautiful winter!
