10 NEW things I learned at the Beaver:
10. Ignore weather reports.
9. Skip is the best campsite caretaker anywhere. Nothing new there, but warrants repeating.
8. If you pretend like you know what you're talking about, you can get people to do just about anything. This is true for both guiding them down the river, or suckering them into eating random mushrooms you found in the woods.
7. An extra 20 cfs in the Eagle makes a noticeable difference.
6. Draw stroke on right side of 1st rapid of Moisher is the key.
5. Rock spins are fun.
4. If you are going to be Spider Man, make sure Peter Parker is there with the camera to catch it.
3. Watching someone (Sandra) drag out and make excuses for their booty beer dues is just sad and embarrassing.
2. Bring spare paddles. You can break one in "a million-in-one shot"!
and
1. New York State's fine wines sure are "grapey"
