Hey everyone, I posted about a year ago looking for boaters near Harrisonburg, VA but i've since moved to Bend, Oregon. Anyone out here to paddle with?

There are some open boaters in Bend. You might talk with the folks at Alder Creek there. You might also check with the Bend Paddle Trail Alliance, particularly Karl and Jo Ann Koenig.

I won't be in Central Oregon, but I'm an open boater planning to move back into far Nor-Cal shortly. Would be interested in meeting up to hit some rivers between the 2 of us from tie to time. What class rivers are you looking to run?

That's awesome. Right now i'm paddling class 3 and easy class 4, hoping to get out enough that i'll be able to improve, Pm me when you're ready and we'll find something to run
