Welcome to 2012, everyone! So, after a month of settling in and getting some early-season ski bugs out of the system, we have started construction on the new shop. The pictures in this post are all pre-remodeling (fairly obvious, I suppose). I'...

So, Captain Crampon, Chris (Liquid Adventures) and I took some newly acquired paddleboards down Resurrection River, a 7 mile long braided river system in the area. I have this to say; paddleboarding rules. For those unfamiliar with the topic,...
