Thomas Whipple writes: “I stopped by Hood River, Ore., to see Brendan Brown on my biannual migration south from ski to forestry work. The wind sport of choice wasn’t keeping him tied down that particular day, so I kidnapped him to kayak the Metolius River in central Oregon. We ran all 28 miles of it, from source, a spring bubbling directly out of the ground, to the reservoir. We found moderate but high-quality whitewater, lots of osprey and hawks, and deliciously cold, clear water that had been stored underground for more than 70 years. We caught up on the flat-water sections, sharing family and work updates, as well as marveling at what different lifestyles and communities we are in now than during our time at SPS. How funny the way that the distance of time changes our understanding of the place.”
Tom Whipple ’11 and Brendan Brown ’11 took on the entire length of the Metolius River in central Oregon.
