Kayaking South Fork American River Coloma to Greenwood Part 1
My and Garrett's first year kayaking adventures on the South Fork American River. We started in May and now are true addicts. For this video we put in at Marshall Gold Discovery State Park to do the C2G run and the video ends after the first Class 2 rapid, Gremlin. This is our first year kayaking and this is my first video I have edited and put online. Look for more to come and thanks for watching.

2016 Gerle Loop Trail, Coloma, CA
My wife Barb and I took a hike on the Gerle Loop Trail near Coloma, CA, along the South Fork of the American River, a stone's throw from where the 1849 Gold Rush started. Peaceful morning, zero wind. No bugs. Lots of poison oak, which we avoided.
The music is a lullaby version of the Creedence Clearwater song Lookin' Out My Back Door. This trail is not exactly my back door, but it's right down the road from where I live, so metaphorically speaking this area of the world is my back door.

After being in the Placerville, California area for a few days now, I finally got to get on one of the most popular sections of whitewater on the West Coast of the United States - the South Fork American River.
I hooked up with John Kosakowsky of 'River Runners' through fellow riverboarder Liz Arnold Muzzey who introduced us. John was raised in the area and together with his wife Sarah and brother-in-law Kyle we hit the water on a rainy Sunday just after noon.
We started with a 'Shredder' (a small inflatable cataraft), a ducky (IK), and myself on a Riverboard... but pretty soon other paddlers put-in a bit further downstream, and at one point we were floating down with another 3 kayakers and an oar-raft beside us - though they eventually moved on and continued towards the lower section.
The river was flowing around 6,000cfs and the 6 mile stretch took us about 1 hour to run.
The wave-trains were huge and the water was really moving. There were a number of very cool rapids and some good holes along the way, though at this level much of the more common features were said to be flushed out or entirely underwater.
Very cool, very entertaining, pretty continuous run with a lot of action. Definitely a nice stretch of whitewater to have in your backyard.

The South Fork of the American was at flood stage. Well above flood stage actually, and we took the opportunity to get a look up close and personal. It was an adventurous day and Kevin's birthday. No one was hurt, but we did lose 1 boat.
