A group of amazing folks, and good friends, are paddling down the Columbia River to raise awareness about the degradation it has suffered from hydroelectrical power.  Ryan Scott, Paul Gamache and Keel Brightman are currently sea kayaking and raftingl over 1,200 miles down the length of the Columbia.  Check out their story, complete with daily updates, at The Columbia Experience.

Kayakers at the bottom give some perspective to the height of the drop.
