ASCI, MD

So far, so good.We swung by Riply to visit Grandmom Beyer. We're hanging out between races at ASCI.  My parents are North American Open Canoe Mixed Recreational Combined Slalom Champions. They have one more race today for the regular slalom championship. We plan to have a quick dinner, and head to Ohiopyle to meet Grizz at 8. Lauren's phone alarm wasn't effective this morning, and we were almost late for the first race. Got to run..

The Precepice: Charleston, WV

Lauren and I are packed and finishing our laundry. Our dinner reservation at South Hills Market fell through, because the power was out. We will leave as soon as the laundry is done. We plan to be back in time for our aniversary on June 20th. We leave tonight to get stuff out of Lauren's car in Jackson County, then to Morgantown, and on to ASCI Whitewater park in Maryland. We'll stay there to watch my parents race untill Saturday. Then we cruise up to Ohiopyle, PA is we can get ahold of Grizz. Then we go to Harpers Ferry for a quick float trip and Mi Degollado. Afterwards, we go to Sterling, VA to see Laurens parents, her brother, her grandmother, and maybe her sister. When that business is over with, we check out DC, then go to her Aunt's in New Jersey. We'll pass the Quickstop in Leonardo, NJ on the way to New York city. We'll make a quick loop around the northeast and Nova Scotia. On the way back down, we want to see Niagra Falls, Cedar Point, and on to Chicago. We intend to see a few sights, parks, and landmarks on the way to Seattle, WA. We'll try to establish a long-ish term home base. I'm going to try to get a job with some sort of personal water craft, or maybe a kitchen gig. Lauren wants to work in a kennel. We will see how closely we adhere to the "plan." Wish us luck!
