Taylor Cavin posted a blog postReservoirs draw-down, kayakers fire it up!
The Fall in Cali is usually about the South Feather (home of GnarlFest), and other races, where we catch up and embellish the details of all the good times we've had. This Fall however, perhaps due to brim-full reservoirs from the bumper water year, there were more options if you were quick and watched the gauges. Reservoirs are drawn-down to exercise the valve (make sure it still works) and to cut the channel at the inflow and outflow so they don't get clogged.…See More

"Congrats on the Royal Flush, Skip, a true accomplishment. It was fun camping with your crew on the North Mokelumne. How come no photos of the solo Kings trip? Oh, right..."
Taylor Cavin posted a blog postNew Year's Resolutions 2012
Well, depending how much stock you put in the apocalyptic predictions for 2012 and your level of anxiety concerning computer crashes, market failures, or everybody except you and Tao Berman getting raptured away to paradise, this could just be your most important set of New Year's Resolutions yet! Here are mine:1) Work on legalizing kayaking in Yosemite. I submitted comments during the "Merced River Comprehensive Management Plan scoping period." Apparently, the Park Service is extending the…See More

Bryan Kirk commented on Taylor Cavin's blog post Reservoirs draw-down, kayakers fire it up!"Sounds like one of the more epic seasons out there Taylor! In the east we also had drawdowns for the reservoirs on the Gauley and Russell Fork rivers. They took the lakes down to 50 ft below the normal 'winter pool' levels to inspect the…"
Taylor Cavin commented on Dale Mears's blog post New UK Team - Wide Eyed Kayaking"I love how the live bait safety guy pulls him in for a high five, then sends him on his way down the rest of the rapid. That rock looks CHUNKY! Thanks for sharing!"
Taylor Cavin posted a blog post5 ways to double-down
Ever notice that kayaking has a way of eating up your whole day even when you don't plan it? Well, as long as you're not doing anything productive, you might as well make your day a double-header, taking part in one of these five cross-over activities that complement kayaking in a practical way. Fishing the confluence…See More

Taylor Cavin commented on Kelsey Thompson's blog post The Double Pump"Give a good look to the last photo. Kelsey's blade is almost on the surface- like a low-brace. I've noticed that a lot of people get hung-up in learning this move because they take the forward stroke into a back stroke too…"
Taylor Cavin posted a blog postHOW TO: Find the goods
Exploration is one of the best parts about kayaking for me. Getting out to scout rapids on a new run is like opening presents. What to do then when most of the guidebook runs are crossed off? Look for new ones... Step 1: Get excited! People may say that everything worthwhile in an area has been done. There are several reasons to ignore this advice... The exploration of the run may be a total rumor. The exploration of the run may represent an outdated perspective or the nay-saying of a…See More

Taylor Cavin posted a blog postOn a Tear
It feels crazy that it's already July and none of the High Sierra runs have gone yet. There has been no shortage of kayaking in the middle elevations lately, and I have put up a journal at gutters of the earth. You can read all about the 13 rivers new to me that I have run this past month, including the first descents of Lower Reed Creek and the Middle Fork of the Mokelumne. For this weekend, I will be paddling and celebrating…See More
