I am thinking about participating in the first annual Portland Paddle on Saturday, October 2nd. Would you like to join me?
According to event organizers, this is "a canoe and kayak event for all ages. The purpose of Portland Paddle is to get people on the Willamette River to learn about it, enjoy it and foster appreciation of this great natural resource." As far as I can tell, the event is free and they will even supply a canoe or kyak if you don't have your own. The route is from Willamette Park to around Ross Island and up to the Hawthorne Bridge (and back). If the weather holds, it could be a beautiful way to spend a Saturday.
Contact me if you would like to register at the same time.
