Full Name: Greg Lamberg
Narrative: How about joining a GREAT bunch of OOPSters and Greg Lamberg for his Second Mentor Paddle on this scenic and diverse stretch of water where the Willamette meets the Mighty Columbia. We will meet at the Sauvie Island Boat Ramp and paddle over to Kelley Point Park. This is about 11 miles round trip. Paddling as a group, we will pass by the house boats on the Multnomah channel. Then we will go by some of the ships loading freight out on the Willamette before landing on the shore of Kelley Point Park for lunch. It will probably be chilly, so a wear warm layer under your drysuit and bring high energy snacks on the water, lunch and a thermos with a hot beverage is probably not a bad idea. Lets have some winter FUN on the Willamette!
