Welcome!

It is my goal to develop an online resource for paddlers of the Northwest that gives them up-to-date trip info, beautiful photography, and quality information about the rivers they are running.  This site is being built to give back to the whitewater community that has given me so much.  Every day that I go on the river, I keep track of what the river is like, any hazards I encounter, and anything I wish I had done differently.  Hopefully you will take my experiences, learn from my mistakes, and then make your own (experiences, that is...).    

Spring is in the air and we are gearing up for a huge season here in the great Pacific Northwest.  Snow pack is ranging from 110-130% of normal on the important mountain passes, and it hasn't even started to melt yet!  By comparison, last year we were at 10% and the snow was all gone by the first week of May.  It will be an epic season.  Also of note, my site recently had its 1,000 visitor.  I'm glad to see so many people are using the site and hope you are finding the beta useful.  I'd love to start hearing from visitors, so feel free to drop me a line if you have suggestions or improvements.

I strive to get on the water as much as possible.  I am going to use this site as a way to hold myself accountable to that goal, and to track my development as a kayaker. 

I genuinely hope to see you on the river.
