Fantasy Falls of the Mokelumne is one of California’s classic High Sierra Multi-Day runs. None in our group had done the run so we packed for four days on the water, which was a lot of weight in food. Here we are packing up the boats. I was stoked about the new bulkhead in the Rocker, it let me put a lot of my food up front and balance out the weight of gear. The seat setup also allows easy access to store bulky items in the stern.

In the middle of the daily grind for the dollar during rafting season, an unexpected day off had me at the North Fork Rogue with a small group looking for a quick run. Behold my surprise when in rolled Ben Stookesberry, Jesse Coombs, Eric Seymour and Thayer Wallace, who was working on a piece for Canoe & Kayak.

Paddling the ‘07 Rocker through some of Cali’s classic High Sierra multi day goodness. This short video shows why California is the place to be in the spring, and the Rocker handling multi day weight like a champ.
