Over the winter I've been floating the same section of the river from Dexter Dam to Springfield about 12-18 miles. With my Burley Travoy, bike and inflatable kayak I can do the whole enchalada without a car shuttle.
I've learned how to load my boat and trailer fast. I can get on and off the river in many more places than I could other wise. My hobo stove and tarp keep me warm when I'm kicking back on an island.
Yiking keeps me from getting too bored, it's a great whole body workout too. I've seen some amazing weather and lots of wild animals. I feel like I'm in the wilds somewhere but it's all very close to town.
I like the feeling of floating. It's relaxing and a great way to explore areas I would not other wise get to see. The following pics were all taken on the Middle Fork of the Willamette River within 12 miles of my house, I'm fortunate to live close to this natural playground.
