Hello friends, once again reporting to you live from Ecaudor. We are now rokkin it out in Banos (and yes, its the same word as bathroom)greatly anticipating our last run of the trip; Rio Topo.
Well, let´s see, what´s been going on since we last updated ya´ll. Pat and I ran the Hollin, which was an overnighter filled with fun.
The first day started with a 40 something foot waterfall followed by some awesome rapids, one of which went through a cave. After a failed waterfall attempt in a raft (not the 40ft one)and a 2 hour long raft pinning incident we had to push hard to get to our intended sandy beach of a campsite. As we came around a corner we were amazed to find a virtual resort left deserted. This place was exactly what you think of when you picture Gilligan´s Isle mixed with Tarzan complete with thatched roofs, multiple rooms and bedrooms, and a view from the front porch to kill for. With a decent nights sleep in our hammocks behind us we set out for the second day.
The second day was hardly as entertaining as the first, but it was a beautiful canyon and anytime we became bored with the whitewater all we had to do was look up.There are many more stories to be told, and in due time they will all be unraveled, but for now I must be going. The streets of Banos are calling us!
Keep on Rokkin
-Ben
