I'm working the 3-5pm shift this afternoon.

That'll be a good time, based on yesterdays traffic flow. Was decent from opening to around 3pm, when it sort of chilled for a bit. Seems like around 4:30 it was beginning to pick back up, staying that way for the duration. About 7:30 or a half hour before closing, the observation/comment was made that we could just about bowl in the walkways. Was a good time and I'll be back Sunday for the wrap up.

Had a great time yesterday meeting some veterans and first responders and getting them interested in joining us and the Portland Chapter.

I'm still getting the truck unloaded, but I wanted to take a minute and thank everyone that pitched in to make this year's show awesome. The North Oregon Coast chapter and their volunteer base really stepped up to the plate, thanks. To our fantastic volunteers from the Portland chapter, thanks. To Next Adventure for always being there to help promote our mission, thanks. And to all of the kayak fishing community that stopped by the booth, bought gear from the exhibitors, and padded the attendance figures for OTS, Thanks!

We'll see you on the water. Let's go fish already!

THANKS!
