I have been living at Fort Collins in northern Colorado for 17 years. Before 1999 I had only a folding kayak, Feathercraft K1 expedition, and I didn't paddle very often at least according to my today standards. Nevertheless, in addition to my local Horsettooth Reservoir, I visited several mountain lakes including Dillon, Turquois and Granby. In 1999 I built CLC Patuxent 19.5 and started a real exploration of Colorado waters. At the same time my garage started to convert into a boathouse ...

All this time I have been recording my paddling trips with a camera and later with a GPS. I have started to post my photo reports at Mountain Wayfarer web page. I am always exploring new ways to present this information on-line. Today, my paddling resources are spread over several web pages. It may be useful to provide a short summary what is available and some information on ongoing projects.

1. Paddling destinations at Mountain Wayfarer site. This is the original site with my paddling reports.

2. A map of paddling destinations using Google maps API (application software interface). This is the ongoing project. Each destination marker can be opened for a picture that is linked to a paddling destination at Mountain Wayfarer or to a related blog entry.

3. River guides. These are more detailed river descriptions with GPS tracks, mileage and and maps prepared as a result of numerous day trips. Most often these were upstream/downstream trip in my Sisson Nucleus kayak.
