Me too, but it's such a "good" kind of exhautsion. I'de love to boat OOC
"out of country" sometime. I remember how crystal clear the rivers in
older
Prijon catalogs were and how beautiful the rivers.....any idea where
tose
were shot?

The founder of Prijon, Tony Prijon is Slovenian, and he has opened a
Prijon testing centre in the town of Cezsoca, near the confluence of the
Soca and Koritnica rivers. I bet a lot of the pictures with the clear
blue-green river came from around there (Then again, they were all over
the world, so who knows?).

Anyway, that's where we were paddling this past week. If you like a nice
varied two week class II-IV trip, Greece at the end of April is also a
good choice. Mostly very clear water, beautiful gorges and incredibly
friendly people (very much unlike the tourist-hungry folks near the
popular tourist resorts!).

I'm still curious to paddle in South and Middle America and New Zealand,
but those destinations will have a to wait for a while...
