Personal info: I am starting to paddle with a new paddle partner...my 12yr old son Trevor. I hope he has many good experiences in the Columbia Gorge and travels further than I have. Love meeting new people on the river, and seeing old friends at the put in. I Love the Pac. NW and wouldn't want to live anywhere else. Glad to have met some of you and looking forward to meeting the rest. SYOTR
