I don't have any idea why we haven't gotten around to doing this before, but we've finally started using Twitterfeed to push our blog postings to Twitter. Essentially, if you're following Wet Planet on Twitter (@wetplanetww), you'll now notice that our blog headlines show up as Twitter postings. This means that Twitter users don't need a seperate RSS feed to keep up with news from the Wet Planet blog. Any new articles will come right to you on Twitter. Just trying to make it easy to stay in touch with the goings on around here.

First of annual Columbia River Gorge based First Descents class take place in July 2009, and was a big succes. The class was hosted and donated by Wet Planet to the non-profit organization First Descents. This wonderful organisation founded by kayaker Brian Ludden makes it possible for young adults with cancer to enjoy 5 vdays of kayaking for beginners. Wet Planet has supported the cause for several years and is excited to now also be involved in making a camp possible here locally.

Woohoo . . . day 4 was a blast!!! We spent the morning learning about the different classifications of whitewater (class I through class VI). After a short video, we brought out the foam to make our annual "Foamie Boats"!!!  Then we went for an awesome raft trip.  Check out this post to hear more about Day 3 of the Kids' Camp.

It's a real challenge to track down Andy Round, as he is usually on the
river, working or traveling . . . but, since he bought a house and
"settled" down in BZ Corners, we can usually find him catching eddies
in Maytag Rapid on the White Salmon River for hours at a time, or at
Wet Planet getting ready for the season. Let's find out more about Andy:

Heather Herbeck, a full-time BZ Corners resident, was tough to track
down this winter. She seems to keep her plate full with her training
program and various projects . . . never a dull moment in the Herbeck
household. Read on to catch up with Heathers latest adventures...
