Beaver Creek (OR) Paddle - 2/5/11

Had and awesome time yesterday paddling around in Beaver Creek with Mel, Sveta, and Dennis... This is something Mel and I have been meaning to check out since we first heard about it a year or so ago, and a Ian's blog post (link on this page) was enough of a reminder to jump-start our motivation. Apparently this area just got purchased by the state and turned into a hiking/paddling park, although people have been paddling there for years and years. With the exception of another pair of kayakers we had the area to ourselves. Thanks again to Josh for letting us borrow your sweet inflatable, that thing was insanely comfy and perfect for a mellow paddle like this. :) Dennis and Sveta were using pack rafts, which were a little squirrely for the flat water, but honestly, these little things are sweeet (I think I want one!). Okay, no sad attemtps for witty comments for this one, enjoy the pics! :)
