Crush My Skull, s'il vous plaît


Yes! So far 2010 has been a good year for my kayaking habit. I hope this trend continues. We have been in a drought for almost three years in these here parts.

This past weekend I got to do a rare weekend in Arkansas with some of my good paddling buddies. Between job schedules, family obligations, screwy weather and tough logistics, these type of weekends seem to be few and far between. But we bagged two runs on the Cossatot River before the weekend was over.

Cossatot is a French word that means 'Skull Crusher'. If you check out the terrain along the river you can quickly see why the French explorers who settled this area named it that. And although we had no injuries in our little group, we sure had some interesting carnage.
