The Willamette Kayak and Canoe Club Yahoogroups discussion forum is operated by members of WKCC, the oldest and arguably best paddling outfit in the Willamette Valley of Western Oregon, USofA. Viewing the forum is open to all paddlers, but you'll have to become a member of WKCC to have posting and other privileges (so don't try to join the forum until you've sent in WKCC membership documents!). Please also remember to include your full name when you make your forum membership request. We're based out of Corvallis, Oregon, but have strong contingents of paddlers from all over. Banter about paddling, trips, gear, technique, notices about paddling related stuff, and apres boating activities are encouraged. Stuff that isn't paddling related or that gets everyone all cranky is discouraged. Pictures are cool. Don't send 'em as attachments, though, they won't come through. Post them in the Photos section and tell us you did so we can find 'em if we want to. Have fun and happy paddling!
