Just wondering if anyone has floated the Siletz River in Oregon? I didn't find any references searching the site; maybe there's a glitch on my end. It seems unlikely no one has canoed it. It is called the "best canoe trip on the North Coast that's both long and easy" in The Field Guide to...

I've just moved to Corvallis, Oregon and unfortunately don't yet have room to store my canoe inside. It's always been inside so if I have to store it outside I would like to do it correctly. Right now it's under a heavy canvas tarp that probably won't keep it dry through the rainy season or...

Anybody have any experience shuttling themselves on a solo river trip? When i was younger I took a couple of Ozark trips where I left the canoe at the put in, drove my truck and bicycle to the take out, bicycled back to the put in, floated to the truck, drove to the put in and picked up the...
