Have you seen any of this gear claimed by the river?

Colby Cap
"I was going through Black Brook Rapid ... the trees nearly took my head off and my hat came off too."
-Paul from Jackman
Broken Paddle
"Last year on the first Dead release I hit the big hole near Elephant Rock. It threw me into the middle thwart. I landed all my weight on my paddle and it broke in two.
Later a kayaker comes by with a paddle just like mine. I used it for the trip and left messages around town, but nobody claimed it, so I kept it."
-Andy from Moxie Gore
Shirt
"My favorite shirt, a green button-up -- a phat shirt. I was wearing it one hot day, I took it off at the boat launch, turned around and it was gone. Those bastards."
-Josh from Lincoln
Tooth
"I lost it on the Dead River. My son said I looked like Leon Spinks."
-Dale from Anson
Teva
"I went into Exterminator, had a huge flip, recirced and came up with just one sandal.
I think a river god ripped it off my foot at the bottom of the hole."
-Ken from Jim Thorpe, PA
