This is me huckin off the roof of Matt's truck into the Blaeberry River. Super fun river to jump into, but I dislocated my shoulder once and that was some sketchy as shit, cuz there's bad sections a little further downstream. Anyways, Matt wasn't driving very fast, but it's really one of those things that, once you decide to do it, you just don't think about it. It's really a philosophical thing as much as a physical thing. I learned something that day. Rational thinking has it's place, but there's many times where quick thinking is required and you have to just act/react without thinking, or it's too late.
Oh what a glorious day this was. Me and Kelly drove up the Valennciennes River, ate some mushrooms and
bushwhacked up the box canyon at Icefall Brook. Quite possibly the coolest place I've ever been in my life. Surreal to the extreme, with or without psilocybin in your veins. THere's another waterfall just to my left, and the ones at the back are at least 150m tall. They're draining from the Lyell Icefield that you can actually see the tiny tip of if you zoom in (but don't do that cuz you'll see the expression on my face). I can't even put into words how cool this place was, but I would love to cross-country ski into the area in the winter, to see the frozen waterfalls, or come in the spring when the water level is higher. I'd love to take people back there too.
