Kayaker Drowns While Creeking 18 years 5 months ago #10460

Here is the link to the site I frequent which has the news article link. I've been paddling the same river all summer and fall. This tragedy was quite shocking.

It is a fact of the things we do. The longer you do it the more likely it is that something like this will hit close to home. Many of us are lucky that it hasn't hit our paddling group yet. My sympathies to the family.

The river was running at flood stages and the hydraulic turned into a keeper. So the lesson is... every river is alive. Even a familiar river should be approached with great caution. Like the dopleganger, she shifts her shape and has many faces.
