I bet this is a first; The Yellow River in China. But this story is more than just a story about a trip to the Yellow River, it is a story about karma.

Well, I've been hankerin' to see just how many times I could run the Ocoee in a day, but I knew I needed one thing … shuttle.

I’d had a few people contact me about the trip, but it all boiled down in the end to meeting Mark Kieran and Eric Tucker Saturday morning.
