Who needs a backyard run when you got one out the front door?

So some town boast about having great backyard runs.  Asheville, NC has the Green.  Boise, ID has the North Fork of the Payette.  Crested Butte, CO has Oh Be Joyful.  I can't say I have been on all of the backyard runs, but I am fortunate enough to have the Little White as a backyard run, and to be correct, the Green Truss is my front yard run.

I have to admit that it is pretty sweet to have 2 world  class runs in my area.  Both the Little White and the Truss have easy access for put-ins and take-outs, and both of them run for the majority of the year.  The Little White is a little far, but I usually put up with the 15 minute drive to be able to paddle such quality whitewater.  The Truss on the other hand is about a 5 minute drive to the put in and I take out at my house (tent to be exact).

So here are some photos from this season on the Truss.  Unfortunately I still have no photos from the Little White, but enjoy these.
