10 weeks out, and packraft woes

Just a couple of pics to show you how much fun we're having out there setting the course.  A few more important updates should be coming next week, so stay tuned.  All pics courtesy of Caylan Van Larson, resident photographic genius. Also just thought i'd mention that all the scouts (packrafts) that we had for sale have gone - we've still got some of the bigger (but still ultralight) boats available however.  checkout www.groundupadventures.com/alpacka for full details as to what's left.  For those that were psyched to get the cheaper alpacka's but don't think the 5 pound, class IV whitewater capable other models are for you - check out the flyweight designs boats - even lighter than the scouts (35 oz!!!!) and although not quite as unbreakable as the alpackas, certainly more than up for the challenge of any rivers here in our rather elevation devoid state.  Although i haven't personally used one of these, they've gotten very good reviews online, and the price tag ($299) suggests that they'll be quality.  I'll keep my eye out for other options as well.
