Here's the slideshow from all the photographs I took that night.

THE GORGE GAMES 2008

The Gorge Games began in 1994 and has a history of being one of the most dynamic, exciting action and outdoor sports events in the Pacific Northwest . The Gorge Games attracts world class athletes to spectacular, world class sites in the scenic Columbia Gorge. No other place on earth offers wild rivers, pristine forest, craggy mountain peaks and the challenges of the Columbia Gorge itself -- along with unparalleled conditions for incredible action sports all in one location.

As for me I decided to take a little road trip on my day off to see some world class kayaking down the White Salmon River. Which by the way is incredibly beautiful!

A Trip Up The River.

I just got a new Galvin fly reel for my big 30th birthday, I took it out today for a test drive on the Clackamas River.
There were some kayaking going on too, which took me back to my photographic roots with Rapid Shooters, now Hotshot Imaging in Coloma, California. Where I shot a lot of whitewater rafting on the American River.
