post your favorite river pics

Here are a couple of mine:

He was about a year older than me and I had the hugest dang crush on him after The Mosquito Coast. I was so sad when he died. So talented. And too damned young. :(

it...

Hudson River pix:

First pic was taken in West Virgina near that big bridge that people jump off. Second pic was taken in southern Virginia.

The second one reminds me a little of my part of the country, Northern NY. Virginia is a beautiful state. I was always impressed by it the many times I drove south with my grandmother to NC.:-)

And I have also been white water rafting, but not on the Hudson. I posted those pix, since you asked for a river, and the Hudson is very near where I live. Where I went rafting was on Sacandaga Lake, also lovely country, and near where I live...:thumbsup:

Sacandaga Lake:

Galax, Va.I'll post some pics in a couple of weeks. Pretty country there. I did the whitewater thing a few years ago.We tied up near the bridge just as they were jumping.

:kick:

I know that you're in the Hudson Valley. But it also looks much the same from my point of view. I finally visited Newburgh a few months ago and it's a really lovely town.:-)

Here's one I like a bunch--but there are too many to call one a favorite!

One from my favorite river--the Kettle, this is mother's delight rapid

And one just 'cause it makes me look like a rock star!

:hi: How are you?

The Mother's Delight rapids - is it a Class IV? Looks like fun.

It is usually rated around II--but goes up with increased flow. I think here it is something like a II-III. Mainly because you are looking at just about the entire thing! The waves are good sized, and the hole Bryan is tryiing to catch is good-szed and looks surge-y, but you just get flushed through and there really isn't anything to wreck your day. A little ways downstream is Dragon's Tooth which can go up to class IV because of dangerous undercut banks which can trap boats and/or swimmers.

This was a truly fantastic day.

As you can tell, I'm doing pretty well! How 'bout you? :hi:

On Edit: just to the paddler's right is that wide tongue of dark water--that is an easy to hit route past the other stuff (It's wider than it looks in this picture) since you have this nice sneak route the rating is set a bit lower.

The tongue is the route I took of course!

We're getting ready to put the house up for sale (should be next week) and moving back to W. Pennsylvania. I dug out our old Canoeing and Kayaking in W. Pennsylvania guide book and am carrying it with me in the car :-).

My DU name may change to livetocanoe, LOL!

I don't think I ever made it to the Kettle River when we lived in Mpls. Looks wonderful :-).

The Los Angeles River.....

Near Bertha Creek on the Kenai Peninsula. I'm not sure which river this is. Bertha Creek feeds into it.

:-). Nice shot. It's like being there.
