The  During the February 25-26 weekend, I helped out/ recertified my swift water rescue with Sierra Rescue, one of the best rescue companies out there.  For the class, we used the Cedar River Slalom Course as the training site.  I wanted to test out the new waterproof camera, and get some good rescue systems up online.  Enjoy the photos!
