Well Demshitz just finished up a cold trip down the Grand Canyon of the Colorado River. It was so cold the icicles were forming on you as you paddled down river. The trip started weeks before our actual put-in date of January 8th, because this was a kayak supported trip we had to carry all of our personal gear in our kayaks for the entire fourteen days.

The best weekend ever usually consists of a long day on my bike, a solid day on the river in my kayak, and a big ol' BBQ with some friends. This last weekend was exactly that... the best weekend ever.
