Skip Volpert on the Illinois River, Oregon
Skip was making the move from Bozeman to the Kern and was coming through Ashland. I was working on Thursday and busy on Saturday. But the Illinois was at a perfect flow and our friends were doing a two-day launching on Friday. What better time to try to squeeze in a one-day trip, right?

Gorgeous, the river and canyon are as beautiful as I remember. What incredible weather. Thanks for sharing Will.
Beautimus! Skip’s run was so smooth, he could have been sipping a cup of tea and rowing with one arm!
Thanks will and skip
