Help me build the most comprehesive online guidebook ever. I started a WikiRiverGuide and I need the kind kayakers of mountainbuzz to help me fill it up. The WikiRiverGuide is website where each page can be edited online, by anyone. You can add your favorite river, favorite run, and a great description of it. It is easy to do.
That is tight! I was thinking about starting a Wiki site as an interactive guidebook a while ago, but never got around to it. I'm glad to see you that you have started one. Nice work! I hope it goes well.
I can't get over that some wankers think they can do a better CRC book. I doubt it will be any good, but we'll see.
If you dont know the individuals who are putting the next guidebook together you might want to stay away from calling them wankers.
Additionally, it has never been stated that the next guidebook is an effort to outdoo CRC 2. Its an effort to update paddling opportunities around the state and make sure there is still a good guidebook around. Just look at the demand (see above posts)-there is obviously a strong need for this service and I applaud those who are putting in thousands of hours to provide us this much needed service for little to no compensation, not to mention having to absorb little snide comments like yours above.
Have fun getting a web signal on your sat-phone at the NF Crystal....
Bummer about your wi-fi not working on the crystal. I've been in your shoes and understand your frustration. I have a special setup that allows me to get internet access via satalite. So, I just throw the laptop in my boat when ever we do a run. When we get to rapids we don't know, I just pull out the laptop and google the rapid name. Technology is great!
Guide books are good for getting you pumped up and psyched up by looking at pics and reading descriptions. But when at the putin for the NF of the Crystal, why would you need a guide book?
If tyring to find it why not try a map or a Gazattee. That is how it is done.
Sounds like there might be 2 groups getting a new book out. Who is gonna get er done first?
