Beginning in early December 2009, Jake Stachovak (Sta-ho-vi-ack) put in on the icy Wisconsin River in Portage, WI to begin his long-time dream trip. The spirit of this trip was as much about the people as it was about the miles and miles of water. The idea was to show everyone the kind of adventure they can find right in their back yard, and to share in that adventure as much as possible.
A special shout-out from Jake to Chad Pegracke and Living Lands & Waters. Check out the work they're doing to preserve the Mississippi and other waterways. Also, a big thanks to California Kayak Friends for sharing knowledge and instilling a love of endurance paddling.
