Full Name: Steve Blackwood
Narrative: This will be a shuttle from Hebb County Park to Willamette Park. We will meet at the Hebb County Park where we will drop out boats and then take out cars to Willamette Park in West Linn and park them and then return to Hebb Park for the safety talk and launch. Please be prompt because of the shuttle.

This is the lazy way to paddle into the narrows without the uphill work. It will be a lazy Sunday on the river. We will explore the narrows and play in the currents. This is not a long paddle and we should be off the water by lunch. If you are so inclined, we can meet at one of the restaurants close by in West Linn for a bit to eat.
