Need help compiling list of First Descents in Arkansas

Post by waldensridgewhitewater » Thu May 13, 2010 7:48 am

I am compiling a list of First Descents and want to expand to Arkansas to show the rest of the country...that yes...there is whitewater in Arkansas...and btw it kicks arse too.


The Intel needed for project: Please list here Arkansas First Descents



we need the following:

creek name:town creek
creek section: ie lower town
paddler's name:Johhny Doe
date/year ie, spring 1902
craft ie hollowform dancer

with 6-9 months of downtime i thought this would be a interesting project

Here is a beta page we have right now.

A lot of that info can be found here: http://www.ozarkpages.com/whitewater/AR.html

Just search for "first" and/or "descent" and it's easy to find the references to first runs and descents.
