I started kayaking at the end of August 2003. I normally do 1-2 kayak river runs each week, so I've probably done at least 60 kayak runs by now. I'm going to try to get some journal entries up for as many of the runs as I can, but I'm posting them as I write them, and some of the less memorable runs will be forgotten for good. I'm trying to make sure I get an entry up for every river that I have pictures/video for. Those get the priority first.
Without further ado....(with many, many runs missing due to bad memory)
