Well, despite COID and Delta and excessive river flows through the early months of 2021, our fleet has continued to venture out. The following is a statistical summary of our club paddling, year to date.
Trips and Miles
So far for 2021, HCC has had a total of 22 official events that would accrue club miles. A few of those are public events or events held by other organizations duly reported by a club member and attended by two or more. The total available distance to date is 374.37miles. See the trip reports section for trip leader/participants reports on trips since the last newsletter! We’ve a total of 57 different participants in our trips, of whom 39 are official HCC members.
Trip Leaders
The following people have led trips or reported events so far this year:
- Bruce Bodson: 10
- Natalie Wiest: 7

Remember, we always need people to lead trips, and ideas for places to go!
