What's New with Columbia River Kayaking?
updated July 5th, 2008
Website Changes
We are in the midst of a major website overhaul. Please forgive the mess as we slowly get around to remodeling all of the pages. There are still a number of dead or outdated links floating around; if you notice these, please let us know! And of course, any other feedback you have about the new format will be welcome.
If you are looking for website hosting services, I can't say enough good things about our host, ICDsoft. I have been using them for years for my other websites, and they have always been spot-on reliable, with day and night customer service that can't be beat for speediness and courtesy. Click on the link in the sidebar to check them out.
Changes made to Oregon Coast Expedition
We've made some changes to the Oregon Coast Expedition. Instead of 8 days, with a lot of loitering around on beaches and so forth, we've shortened the trip to four days, and lowered the cost to $800. The dates are now July 21 through July 24 and we expect to make it from Cannon Beach to Pacific City in that time.
We hope that these changes will make this trip more accessible to more people, and judging by the interest that this trip is now generating, I think we made the right call.
