Diary 2
To the river! One of the blessings of having a local contact is the ease of logistics. Yoshi, the owner of Spirit is the man. Our whole trip wouldn't have been possible without him.

A little overnight
moisture
I guess I'd had my head in the sand about scenery in Japan. I didn't expect it to be anywhere as gorgeous as it was. Lots of green and nice color contrasts.

The mission of the day was a quick park and huck slide, a good way to clear off jet lag. We thought flows would be higher with the precipitation, but you can't win 'em all.

The slide had fun lines, you could go around the island. Ryan Knight and Cody Howard go both ways at the same time.
Ryan, Cody and Shon Bollock watch Yoshi's descent with a seemingly abandoned house in the background.
Looking forward to the adventures ahead we rushed back to the hostel to dry gear and figure out what was up next.
Yoshi and Cody debating the options.

Ideally I'd like to have used
both a grad nd and polarizer to really pull the color out of the trees
in the below image. But it was overcast and too dark for that, plus in
kayaking there is never anyone that
patient. Still the image would look better with the reflections in the
water gone.
