IMHO,  I think that BobG was just asking for fun to poked by taking extraordinary measures to keep people from taking video footage of him. Hey, Bob's been the editor of the AW journal for many years now and has, on numerous occasion, used that platform to tweek all sorts of paddlers. If you can't run the rapid...

Besides, I'll bet that old (and getting older all the time;-) BobG secretly LOVES the fact that a song has been written about him.

Meanwhile, i think that this issue of the AW Journal was one of the best I've seen. Awesome safety articles and great stuff from Charlie, Lee and especially Jason Robertson.
