Great! and You're Probably Lucky.

Welcome to the group. It's good to have more active participants here.
I tried Boatertalk some, but the interface was too-time-consuming, so
it's kind of a shame that this newsgroup is relatively inactive.

Political threads bore me somewhat, but given that where we can paddle
is a political issue, I'd say they are definitely on topic.

Speaking of politics, please welcome Kevin Lewis as President of AWA!
He is a (northern California) Shasta Paddler who worked on getting us
scheduled late summer releases on the North Fork Feather!

I appreciate your hospitality, and I do welcome Kevin.

My folks were from central California, I was born in Hanford, and grew
up hearing the name Shasta, and Kern River. We moved from the area,
when very young, but have always wanted to come see these places. Keep
them nice for me, and maybe someday I can make it out there.

Welcome, and Thankyou, Tinkerntom, aka KnesisKnosis, Life, Live it!
