Thats really cool! Waterfalls and surf on the same trip.
Was that a first suttle by horse?

Yes I will come back to Tennessee soon. Water in Mexico ,Sept higher than all heck, March Low but doable, perfect first time down, scouting type of trips.

Yes, I've used taxis, Pretty girls porters, Ox cart, and helocopters but that was the first time I shuttled by caballos

I am ridin down the interstate with PLG drivin and readin these post to him. Thank you all, this is his first passes at video makin and I have tried to give him some of my past experiences with the NPFF, but he is pretty good on his own. He is like Dooley you never have to tell either one of them tanything twice. His first time in whitwater was the last week of Oct first time in his own boat end of Novermber. He is a natural, natural swimmer, so he wants to get out of the deathyak ASAP. We are on our way to do the four fours section of the Antiqua, between the Branco Granda and the Pescados. At today level it is more likely the four threes

well today trip was a bigger river and back in early oct it was all the freakin water you wanted now five months later it was still a big water type of run except for the last rapid. We well didn't think we would get enought footage for one today but it had more on it that what we were lead to belived. We think we can get another video out of it. I ain't never lived where the river weren't rain dependant. From Sept. thru Feb. I swear I odn't see how you could beat it

Louie,
Is that other canoe an Esquif Prelude?

Louie · Post by **Louie** » Fri Feb 20, 2009 12:33 pm

Yes but the question you should be askin is this. How in the hades do you go to Mexico with no possy ( as in a group, not the other word in case you think this was a spelling error) and end up with such a strong group including one on loan from Heaven. Well I tell you the bald one I train from his first time on whitewater to today and the Godess I rescued from a group of Canadian butt boater who were really holdin her back by tellin her stuff like " a canoe can't run that" please note of all the video we only had butt boater with us one time. A women who looks like Eilieen and you are askin about the boat?

ok Louie, how about Eilieen

The looks of Eileen are hard to tell with her paddling gear on. The fact that she paddles a prelude down is maybe just as interesting then the fact that she's probably a pretty girl.

But what I've been wondering: what does a girl like that in the company of you 2 guys? -no pun intended-

As long as you guys are havin a good time out there in Mexico.

How come we don't see you running these awesome waterfalls ???

The one at the beginning of your vid looked great

BTW all rivers close to here do not require rain, just no ice

Keep feeding us this good stuff !

Louie · Post by **Louie** » Fri Feb 20, 2009 8:00 pm

Isn't the real question why don't we see you runnin any waterfalls or at least on a river?

About that lame avaitar, is a boatin site or a trampin through the wood with a couple of sticks on you feet and couldn't you come up with a least a down hill snowboard or what you call that stuff

Rewatch the video and you might catch me runnin adrop or two. Of course in like the Tapango video I shoot Fred from the top and it was too high to throw the camera down from the top. I have so many shoot of me doin waterfalls it ain't no big deal. after you have done this a few years you will understand. Do you boat or just make snide comment about the people who do?

as far as I can see, open gate is on water (although frozen) in his avatar, and it is white, too, so i don't really see any issue there...

...

Great video Louie!

TGG!
