I can't believe i've never tried this until yesterday.  On a whim, i tried attaining back up Gabriel's Bend on the Haw.  For those of you unfamiliar with the term "attaining," it means working back up-river, utilizing various aspects of the river to do so.  To my surprise, i made it almost the whole way back up "the Bend," until what i think might be one of the last of two moves. Those of you familiar with Gabriel's Bend, i made it up to the first rock eddy on river-left (if you're coming down-river).  From there i needed to make it over to the first micro-eddy (if you're coming downstream) on the rock wall on river right, and then back to the big eddy before entering "the Bend."   Have any of you ever attained past this point?  The move i got stuck on requires moving over top of a pretty high wave shoulder, then using that wave to ferry across to the micro eddy.  ...I (inadvertently) have a new goal to work towards.  Any advice/input would be appreciated!

Well, work and play have kept me from doing much posting recently, so here i am trying to get back on track.  I'll start with another trash record.  Needless to say since my last post i have picked up quite a bit of garbage that i do not have photographic record of or listed out... oh, well.  Let's just pick up where we left off.  Click the "Trash 2013" link above to see the on-going record.
