Packrafting Group now at last on Facebook!
Posted: Wed Dec 03, 2008 4:32 am
For months, every now and then, I've typed the word packrafting into the search box on Facebook. And every time, the only page that has comes up is a profile of me!
Nobody else. No names of the Gods (Roman, Nathan, Sheri, et al). And no packrafting group among the million of users (rafting yes, but that's not quite the same, is it?). And I've only appeared because it is listed under my interests.
As an inexpert paddler and one that has spent most of this year off the water injured, this is pretty unbelievable. I mean, I'm incredibly flattered and humbled to have such exclusive packrafting status conferred on my (unable to paddle) shoulders but the weight of upholding the Facebook packrafting world is an honour I truly (and this is no modesty) do not deserve.
Therefore, I've put up a group page. I've used the name of my paddling blog: The Paddlers' Liberation Front (go on, admit the name does have attitude). If anyone here is on Facebook, please take a look. You can post videos, pictures, etc. If one paddler joins, the packrafting world on Facebook will have exploded by 100%. It'll be sad to loose my easy won title of the Facebook Packrafter Supreme but I'm an overage adult and I can take it.
Here's the link:
