"Hello,
I recently made a group on facebook for Southern Oregon Kayakers to meet and
discuss kayaking.  I moved here over a year ago and there are alot of
kayakers but it is hard to find them. ...  Matt"

Here's just one photo of part of the group that ran the Packsaddle run for Rob's birthday. There are rumors that the complete group on this run was 50 people, and there were two other runs happening at the same time in celebration of Rob's 80th.  Some are hoping that there were exactly 80 people on the river for Rob's 80th. Whether or not that's true, it was a great turnout, and a really fun time! Expect more photos to show up on the site as people send them in.

If you have a photo from the weekend, please contact the webmaster and let her know you have it, so she can put it up on the website.

Happy Birthday Rob!

 There is a nasty, river wide, log on the Metolius in the vicinity of Candle Creek Campground.  Use caution!
