Come to the Lower Columbia Canoe Club's October presentation and meet a most interesting and inspiring local boater. In 1987, at age 61, Karl Adams undertook an amazing kayak journey; paddling across the United States, from Astoria Oregon to Miami Florida. He spent 6 months completing the 5111 mile trip - paddling 4761 miles on a series of rivers, intercoastal waterways, and bays, and walking his kayak 350 miles over the Continental Divide, from Lewiston, Idaho to Helena, Montana. Karl has been kayaking for about 50 years and has paddled and sailed all over the world. He's still very active- competing in this year's dragon boat races and just finishing Paddle Oregon's 100 mile trip down the Willamette. Come see Karl's beautiful slides and hear the entertaining stories of his cross country adventure.
