Illinois River
I'd like to go down the Illinois River in Southern Oregon sometime this June. The best time to go is 'March through to mid-May', according to the review on AmericanWhitewater.org, so if it doesn't happen this year I'd like to find other people interested in going down it next year (2017).

Re: Waterproof pack?
I've faced the same problem. It's hard finding a dry-bag that I can fit all my gear into. I've got a 70 liter cheap dry bag that I bought on eBay for under $10. It serves its purpose, but...

Lower Klamath River
Hi, I'm heading down the Lower Klamath River this weekend (Saturday 28th of May through Sunday 29th of May, 2016). It's a scenic stretch of river at the top of Northern California. My rough and flexible itinerary is to park at Dillon Creek Campground and then hike / hitch-hike upriver (the Bigfoot S...
