John squeezed in among the raft and kayak and other gear in the rental car...yes I said car... No one will ever know how he got all that stuff in there. Needless to say we had to switch to a minivan...

At the put-in point the morning of our launch (Wednesday, May 17, 2006). Organizing all the gear took quite a while due to our inexperience. That's why we do these kind of things though, for the experience.

Jeff and his wiiiidddee bill hat. Great for attracting the girls...and as a side benefit, it keeps the sun off his face.

Conversion to leg powered transport custom built by John has begun. This is the first time the contraption has been built on the raft, so it took a little time to get it all together and adjusted.
