My goal is to spend winters exploring Ecuador and the Andes of South America. I am scouting eco-friendly adventures for my friends and fans. However I cannot live this dream without the support of my loyal fans. I don't have much money but I live a rich life. Those tips you leave me make all the difference and I am sincerely grateful. I plan to offer guided trips in South America soon; contact me for more information. You can read about some of my endless summer adventures on OAC's River Guide Blogs. Check out the photos and videos too! I will be writing and filming more adventures in the southern hemisphere so stay tuned.

This website has many old archived pages as it has been live for over twenty years. I have ridden many miles in my life and worn out at least 13 motorcycles during my life. Bikers may enjoy the many motorcycle related articles and product reviews as well as the helmet law map. Others may prefer my whitewater videos of epic surfs and carnage or maybe my guidebooks. Still others might enjoy the dirtbag tips for living on the cheap. Your feedback is always welcomed as are donations to keep this information and website available while I wander the Americas and share love.

Some of the more popular sections of the Ezine:

Ocoee River Guidebook for Raft Guide Trainees and Others.

My online Video Ocoee River Guidebook shows basic raft lines through all of the Middle Ocoee rapids and the Class IV rapids of the Upper Ocoee. Each rapid is shown with different crews and times of day.

Videos and tips are broken down by rapid. The videos of the five trips featured were all shot during a five trip day with Whitewater Express. Check out sooner and buy less swim beer. These lines also work well in kayaks.
