Some of the Questions that Zach covered in the Q&A section of this episode

Topic: Boating Group

I just moved to PDX and am looking for some rafting friends. Can you help?

Topic: Illinois Packraft

I have (had) a dream to do a low water Illinois River trip in my Packraft. [My friends] ran the river in the ‘70s in inner tubes. Yup. I guided on the Illinois for a couple seasons late ’70’s-early ’80’s but have not been back. Whaddah ya think about my idea? I don’t want an epic (those days are mostly behind me) but would LOVE to get back. Any thoughts on water level, whether this is a crazy idea, or any other thoughts are very much appreciated.
