Re: Glover River - Southeast Oklahoma

Note: That Boy Scout Camp may not be a public put in. If memory correct, we were working off a map. Saw the BSA camp and just drove in. No one there and we had a shuttle bunny so we launched, did the run and got picked up on the paved highway. Terry is a great source of information on OK little run ...

Re: Open House Gear Sale?

For what it is worth, I used Facebook for a while when it first came on line. Then a bit of research showed me just how they track every thing members do with all sorts of trackers and beacons. I got off the service and will never use it again. Facebook is one of the most profitable business operati...

Gordo, I love you as a paddle bud, have to disagree a bit with your defense of data aggregators. I applaud your specific company for doing the "right" thing on data research. It is unfortunate, that the major players like Facebook, Google, Twitter and others do things with our most private...

Re: ACC & Facebook

When Facebook first became popular, a rafting bud of mine used it for communication (with pictures) for a western river trip. It was good for that and I used Facebook for a while. I made my living off computers from the room sized units to the personal computers. I began wondering how facebook was m...
