Title: Capilano River, May 18th 2009
Post by: younggun on May 18, 2009, 04:59:19 PM: another morning spent hiking the canyon, another morning getting excersise. No fish to support the hunger! I'm afraid of whats coming, maybe a total bust on the run? :'( The river is no longer anything like wat it was in years past

unless your part mountain goat or have found a way to walk on water there is no way the "canyon" is accessable today.

thanks for the report ;D

But yea i was in deep to keep away from the crowds, its a gong show some days. And i am part mountain goat/sheep. Studded felts help.

Ever looked into one of these. Makes it a lot less dangerous for you to try and save someone.
