2015 Sierra Challenge, Ultra Run, River Trip... the busy time has come

As the title suggests, things have gotten busy, after Wanderlust I made a weekend trip to San Diego to see some friends and participate in the Slack-Pocalypse (I walked 2.78 miles on a slackline - lots of laps) or as reported on Gearjunkie.  Then it was on to Utah for the Kat'cina Mosa 100k trail run race and the OR show and back to CA to do days 3-9 of the Sierra Challenge. I missed the first 2 days due to the OR show and recovering from the run. I skipped the last day to pack up and start driving up to OR for Jason's 40th birthday Deschutes River trip. This was a heap of packrafts and other watercraft on the river for 4 days of fun and paddling (the paddling was fun too mostly). Busy busy. It will take a while to catch up with pics, but here are a few. Hopefully one day I will have proper trip reports written up and posted.
