The 6th Annual Russell Fork BADDLUN is in the books. A strong field, punctuated by many strong ladies (and 1 old man), did battle in the Russell Fork Gorge and a fun time was had by all. Jay Ditty became a 4-time champ ... simply awesome. Delaney Albright put in a very strong effort and will be gunning for the win next year. Geoff Calhoun redeemed himself after a DNF two years ago and, with the help of a blazing kayak leg, found himself on the podium.

Many thanks to the Elkhorn City Heritage Council for feeding all the kayakers at the Paddler Appreciation Dinner ... October at the Russell Fork is truly something special.
