24-7

A little splash of color in an otherwise black and white world


"Deep Creek Hydro is scheduled to generate for 24 hours a day until further notice."

So what if its only supposed to be in the high 20's? Music to our ears on a nice cold winter day. Jeff and i met up with Jeff Macklin (JMac) and Jason for a quick run on the Upper Yough. A light sprinkling of fresh snow covered everything in a delicate blanket. The wind made the paddle in (and out) chilling but the rapids were great fun as always and the scenery was fantastic. Snow capped rocks, crystal clear blue-green water, and fabulous blue ice draping the banks like a curtain on the stage of winter.

    Maggie those icy photos of the UY are awesome - they send chills up and down my spine, looking at the familiar lines with ice and snow everwhere.

    Somebody has got to use your photos in a calendar. The Russel Fork in the Fall was equally stunning. The AR and AW calendars are really lame in comparison.
