Full Name: Jon Light-Powell
Narrative: Come on out for a little pre-spring exercise with a trip around Ross Island. See some Eagles. Perhaps play in some little current. Look for exciting Agates!! But mainly just a fun little afternoon paddle with friends.
We will leave from Willamette Park, Portland, boat ramp. Be sure to pay for parking (use Parking Kitty App for time flexiblility).
I would love a CO-TO if someone is interested.
