Row, Row, Row your boat, gently down the stream....

We are a loose group of paddlers around Watertown South Dakota. This blog is a meeting place to coordinate trips and share information. We are at the heart of many miles of the Big Sioux River and hundreds of lakes and wetlands to explore.

Weekend Report

Saturday I traveled down to the outdoor campus in Sioux Falls to attend the SD Canoe and Kayak Association annual meeting. The speakers included Steven Dahlmeier, President SDCKA, Greg Latza & Erin McManus with a trip report of the White River. We heard from Tony Keller speaking about his book,  Camping & Cooking with the Bare Essentials. After a short business meeting Team River Runner gave us the lowdown on how they are helping disabled vets through kayaking. Tim Cowman - Director, USD Missouri River Institute gave a great presentation on the Missouri River Flood of 2011: Causes, Impacts, and Post-Flood River Management. Finally Jarett Bies & Steven Dahlmeier gave us an update on the South Dakota Kayak Challenge.
there is more information on the speakers and links to their sites if you follow the link in the side bar to the SDCKA. Overall a good day and well worth the trip down there.
