Whistle Stopping

Been a while.  My bad.  Been having too much fun and not taking enough photos.

Last weekend the family took the train up to the Spencer Glacier Whistle Stop.  We lucked into some awesome weather.  Ev and I decided to float out the Placer River in packrafts.  Ev has been trying to get me to take her packrafting for the better part of 2 years and I am stoked we finally did it.  We cruised out in between the icebergs first and then headed down the river.  She was a little hesitant to run the class 2 water under the railroad bridge, but with a little encouragement we ran 'em and we were psyched!   Float took probably 2.5 hours and was super mellow.  Here are some pictures and a quick edit.



Three generations.  Love this picture.

I didn't take as much footage as I wanted to and this is my first attempt at a proper edit.  It still turned out as a nice little project.  Hope you enjoy.  I'll try and post more often.
