This is a well-organized event -- and not the first year of it..... cost is a little high, but that's because it's intended to be a fundraiser.

Are there any ACA events on the left coast? Is organization/representation stronger in one region than the other? I've tried to answer these questions myself by going to: www.aca-paddler.org, but the site hasn't been up each time I've checked.

Very few, generally. Canoeing (canadian, that is....) was historically not widespread west of the Rockies, much less so than in the East. So, there is less membership, etc. in the West. --Love to see more out there, though....
