The Currents
The wide southern river was running brown and pushy, with frothy waves rising to cover the rocks. We were floating down at three times the normal flow and the rookie raft guides were trying to hide their wide eyes and cold sweat. The rafting guests didn’t quite know how different the river was today, but the skittish energy was animalistic and contagious. The rain was just starting where we were, but it had been raining hard and fast miles upstream. All the creeks that ran down the mountains were flooded beyond recognition, wood and debris changing their shape.

Fly Me to the Moon from the TWA Hotel
I recently had the opportunity to visit the TWA Hotel, conveniently located at Terminal 5 - JFK International Airport. While there the strangest thing happened. I was sitting at The Sunken Lounge minding my own business, sipping a specialty cocktail, Vodka is My Copilot (Vodka, Dry Vermouth & Olives). I was enjoying the 1960’s ambiance of the hotel lobby when out of nowhere Don Draper walks up. He was styling a slick haircut, thin black tie, and slimming gray suit. His trench coat was casually draped over his left arm and a briefcase in the other. Frank Sinatra’s “Fly Me to the Moon” was playing in the background. He walked up and took a seat at my table. Looking everywhere but directly at me, he lit up a cigarette, took a sip of scotch, and said. “ If you don’t like what is being said, then change the conversation.” I gazed at him with disbelief, as I took a sip of my cocktail, the large flight board began to flap. Flight numbers and their destinations appeared on the screen. Don Draper got up, checked his watch, picked up his briefcase, and disappeared through the long oval tube to catch his flight.

Gear Is For Using
For outdoors people, gear is better than sex. So, then it can be said, that gear organization is the outdoor person’s masturbation. I may have lost some readers already, and that is probably for the best. If you are pressing on, however, that is because you are either an unapologetic gear head, a chronic organizer, or both. No matter your predilection, we’re going to have a lot of fun.
