When I started Oregon Kayaking back in 1998, there was no such thing as a Blog ( web log ) and digital cameras were a rarity. These days, digital photography and Blogs enable paddlers to put up websites much more easily than ever before. The results are often quite good, and I am a big fan of these sites. The only downside to Blogs is the links are so darned hard to remember, so I decided to compile a list of the very best West Coast paddling Blogs. Enjoy! DARIN MCQUOIDS JEFFERSON STATE CREEKING Darin's superb class five kayaking blog with lots of hard-to-find California creeks and rivers. A must-visit for Pacific NW kayakers.
