All my life there has been a compulsion to see around the next bend. To look at a map, in
the day when you actually held one in your hand. Then pick the most remote spot possible.
In the dead of winter or in the middle of a combat tour in the Tonkin Gulf, to dream and plan
the next big one. A major regret is that several decades are missing. Film too
expensive for a camera so only memories remain.
Cannot remember what the flow was last month nor what canyon we camped in six years
ago. Where was that waypoint file? Got tired of looking for the Green River gauge
for the 20th time. Log books have a way of becoming lost. Web sites come and go as do
manufacturers and outfitters.
This site is an attempt to overcome the frustration and wasted time in trying to keep up with
those issues. PaddleOn provides a solution, at least for me, in helping to organize trip logs, photographs, and
other paddling related resources. If it helps fellow paddlers and rafters navigate rivers of the Southwest, so
much the better. Gene Couch
