The
Rapid Rafts Report

Whitewater
World:
Well,
the rain didn't pan out for the Northwoods this week, but we
still vow
to have fun here at Kosir's for the 4th of July! The Menominee
should run
strong up at Pier's Gorge with water levels around 1000cfs- plenty
of smash
hits into Volkswagen Rock for Zack and the gang. The Peshtigo,
tho, will be
a scrapey run for this time of year, in the lower minus range.
These trips
will *not* be for the couch potatoes! However, if you are *physically
fit*Jonesy and I can guide you through the maze of rocks, and
we will
find fun
down in the Big Boys- our Class III section. You must be prepared
to get
unstuck 30+ times to get there- consider yerselves warned!! The
good news is
the weather will be AWESOME- lots of sunshine with highs in the
upper 70's,
and cool, clear camping conditions at night. Plus, we will be
tubing the
Pesh all day every day right here from our base at Rapids Resort!
So don't
give up and don't give in- come celebrate our Nation's independence
with the
best- *Kosir's!!*

Here are some
pictures from the weekend!
Late last year we introduced tubing
below the whitewater stretch of the Peshtigo, and it was a smash
hit. We will be seeing more of that this year once the water
warms up a little. It is great for the people who want a more
relaxed ride, and almost anyone can do it. COOL!!
We hope to see
you all soon!

Held over from
last year - Rafting Videos on the Net!
I have a page set up now
with a growing list of whitewater rafting movie clips that I
made on the Peshtigo & Menominee Rivers by Kosir's.
Right now it is a random
assortment of clips. Once I get them organized and add a more
comprehensive list of videos I will talk to the guys about adding
them to the Kosir's site. For now here is a sneak peek. There is some great footage of
both rivers, helmet cam footage, and some fun stuff in the flip
clips.
New and not archived yet..
Just the slow motion replay
clips from one of the rafting trips last year (4-19-08). The

Here is a link to the new video clip for the web. This was a
taste of some of the Sunday afternoon video's harder hitting
moments. I had to make it small, but it is longer and has sound.
(1:38@8Mb) There is some pretty slammin stuff on it, check it
out.
I made up a little
web clip for you guys entitled "Inertia", and it
is here. It is
part of a flip clip that I set up as a bonus reel. There is some
fun stuff there, take a look.
