An Afternoon at ASCI
2 09 2007I blitzed up to the ASCI whitewater course today, and had fun. I got in some playing, got stuffed briefly under a raft, got spun silly in the surging whirlpools. The main thing I went for was to try out the portage escalator, which wasn’t operating the last time I was there (also ‘cuz I ended up with a free season pass, but that’s another story.) The conveyor was the kind of thing we used to fantasize about in the old days when we dreamed of whitewater becoming as big as skiing, but I never expected to really see one. It’s bizarrely cool.
As a bonus I ran into an old compadre whom I hadn’t seen in probably 20 years, Steve Draper. Drapes is one of our finest slalom racers, coaches, and race organizers. It’s always a great pleasure to see the old gang still representin’.
