Headed to Alaska in a couple of weeks. Three of us are going to float American Creek in the Katmai area. I usually float the Koktuli. This is a bit more challenging of a float as far as the river goes. And this area has the highest concentration of brown bears in the world. The average age between the three of us is 72.
My point is, age is just a number and what we lack in muscle we more than make up for with experience (not to mention good looks).
