Vertical Challenge - Middle Feather Overnighter

From May 15th - June 15th, the Gueras de CKS are competing in the Eddyflower Vertical Challenge.  Foremost, the Vertical Challenge is a fundraiser for First Descents, which is a kayaking camp for young adults with cancer.  During 32 days the event encourages teams of 5 to log the most vertical feet on the river while trying to raise money for First Descents.  

I encourage you to check out more at http://eddyflower.com/EventDetail.aspx?EventId=54.
If you have a spare dollar or so, you should donate.  If you have a spare $20, you should donate even more.  We might be lagging in vertical feet at the moment, but the Gueras de CKS and First Descents would love your support!


Starting on the first day of the competition, some friends and I put-in on a 3-day overnighter on the Middle Feather in California.   Never hearing much of this run, but not feeling like waiting for other rivers to drop in to acceptable level, we decided to pack up the boats and go camping.  Covering 30 miles, 3 canyons, and over 100 rapids, the Middle Feather ended up being well worth it.  With beautiful scenery and quality whitewater,  I would recommend this run to anyone and in the first 3 days of this competition I posted 1/4 of my total vertical feet.

Beautiful California scenery on the first day.  


Dave Fusilli running the 1st of 100 significant rapids.
Counting each rapid to gauge our progression on the river, we realized that our idea of rapids we slightly different than someone else's because already on day #2 we were on rapid 117.


Dave paddling towards the sieve... right on line

Our first camp spot


Second day scenery - the river is starting to run through one of the three gorges


Jared Seiler avoiding a stout hole


Dave


Scouting the stout rapid of sieves, holes, caves, and other bad spots that we all portaged.


J Dog near the end of Devil's Canyon


Anna charging yet another stout hole.  
We thought we were out of the canyon and the river was over.  But, apparently not.


Now I am back in Colorado, which is awesome, except lots of playboating does not really help increase vertical feet.  So, after an afternoon of looping and windowshading in the Salida hole, I convinced Jared and Dave to run my shuttle, so I could speeder and atleast acquire a couple of feet for the day.

2020.08.19不敢來酒店上班-酒店打工的原因風月場所無真愛!酒店小姐的基本介紹跟工作內容一名林姓男子半年前賭博贏了500萬元,追求的一名我在酒店上班的日子酒店妹「娜娜」(化名)隨即答應與他交往,後來覺得娜娜把他盤子,需索無度,日前與她分手,不料卻遭一群惡煞擄走,以當初詐賭為由,酒店兼差不是一個複雜的工作環境?勒索300萬元,直到熟識的酒店老闆出面才獲釋。林男懷疑娜娜聯合擄人集團,獲釋後至今不敢回家,警方發覺,該集團以有錢人為目標設局犯案,且不止一樁,正積極偵辦中。由於娜娜惡行成了酒店業的害群之馬,八大行業已發布通緝令要把她揪出來。據了解酒店小姐去酒店上班都一定要出場接s嗎?,20歲出頭的娜娜原是一個乖乖女,下海當酒店小姐後,酒店小姐上班通常會取什麼名字?一夕間從清純妹變成狐狸精,傳聞專門勾搭有女友、已婚的多金男客下手,先設局讓對方暈船,再從中索求捧場、借錢,不久前曾介入男客家庭,被正宮抓姦,要求她出面負責,這次疑聯合擄人集團勒索,手段令人咋舌,惹怒八大行業對她發布通緝令。據「自由時報」報導,娜娜17歲時因為缺錢,想盡辦法到酒店上班,直到18歲才如願下海,因為敢玩、不在乎「身體界線」,很快被男客捧為紅牌。但娜娜隨著價值觀改變,加上後來生活圈漸漸複雜,與3、4年前相比判若2人,專勾引多金、已婚或有女友的男客,索求資金、捧場,由於手腕高明,年紀輕輕就從小姐成為酒店幹部,但日前介入男客家庭被正宮抓包,這次又疑聯合擄人集團綁架林男,恐遭抵制踢出八大行業。

2020.10.08酒店小姐的基本介紹跟工作內容首先要注意的是「【酒店小姐】【酒店公關】酒店上班到底都在做麼?」
不敢來酒店上班-酒店打工的原因?酒店的環境其實並不像大家想的一樣複雜,但是在開始工作之前,一定要先了解清楚工作內容,甚至是現場環境。而在酒店現場遇到的狀況有沒有什麼可以處理的方案。例如:「不小心喝醉的話,要怎麼辦?」,不小心喝醉時不用擔心,因為現場有行政人員或是我們位於店家的助理,會負責安排喝醉的小姐於休息室休息,等酒醒後才會再安排坐檯,或是由助理直接護送回家。
而避免喝醉也是安全的一大保障,因為在座檯的過程中,保持清醒才能自我保護,所以建議本身喜歡喝酒的小姐,可以等下班之後再喝,也不會因為一時不小心喝醉,沒有辦法繼續坐檯,而導致當天節數不佳的情形發生。
