The “Portage to Portage Paddling Project” is a 5000 mile solo kayak journey around the Eastern United States. An adventure that will link the Mississippi River to the Great Lakes via the Gulf Coast, East Coast, and New York Canal Systems starting and ending in the small town of Portage Wisconsin. Beginning in early December 2009 Aqua Adventures kayaker Jake Stachovak (Sta ho vi ack) will put in on the icy Wisconsin River in Portage WI to begin his long time dream trip. The spirit of this trip is as much about the people as it is about the miles and miles of water. The idea is to show everyone the kind of adventure they can find right in their back yard, and to share in that adventure as much as possible.
You can track his journey through his Blog or on Facebook.
