Rapunzel's Revenge


My brother Nate, spacestationnathan.com, author/ illustrator extraordinaire has a new book out! He recently teamed up with author Shannon Hale, shannonhale.com, (no relation) and produced the illustrated novel Rapunzel's Revenge.  It was the book of the month on the Today Show and has received outstanding reviews. It is totally worth checking out; you can get a copy at Borders, Amazon, and Barnes & Nobles. Way to go Nate on another awesome book!

Big Water and Flash Floods

This is a 37 foot J-Rig coming through Wave five in Hermit rapid.  I think Hermit has the biggest river waves in North America right now.  The Dam is pumping out 18,000 cfs and the Little Colorado is putting in 1500-2000 cfs,  this makes Hermit and Crystal both monsters.







This is a picture of our camp the night after a flash flood came through it.  The night before it rained about 2 inches in three hours.  A massive flash flood came down the side canyon we where camped at.  The flood flowed over the creek bed and into camp.
