Career River Log

I have logged all of my trips since my first raft trip in August, 1976. Prior to that the runs were few and far between and I was able to retrace my past and figure out the river runs I had made in canoes or inner tubes.

I have kept a full journal of all my trips since 1980, but they got more detailed after about 1983. I enjoy going back and reading some of the old journals from the early Carolina Wilderness Adventure days.

The accomplishment that I am most proud of are the eight rivers I have 100 trips or more. I hope to make that at least 12 once my 13-year plan is done.

Also I am proud of the fact that, if I can continue to be blessed with good health, I hope to raft for at least 25 more years. Let's see those numbers!
