It’s already one of our favorite publications (we tend to read it cover-to-cover as soon as it arrives) but the March issue of Out There Monthly has special appeal for Friends of the Falls, since it’s our Board Vice-Chair, Travis Nichols, gracing the cover!
The related article, entitled ”Year of the River,” celebrates opportunities inherent in what should be a very good flow year for the Spokane River, due to an ample snowpack in nearby mountains. It’s full of information about various stretches of the river, including little-known history, safety information for would-be boaters, club contacts, and more.
As for Travis, he’s been involved with FOF since his volunteer “work” helping kayak-escort several of our spring raft trips a few years ago. He’s an expert whitewater guy, and even helps teach newcomers to the sport. Some of Travis’ key volunteering these days involves representing FOF in the City’s ongoing Shoreline Master Program effort.
Check out the Out There article below, or better yet, pick up a copy at just about any area coffee house, grocer, or pub. We’ve included a link to a larger picture of Travis’ cover, too, but it’s mainly there to embarrass Travis a bit…
Oh, and we might add that the author of the Out There article, Paul Delaney, has also served as skipper on many of FOF’s spring floats. Great article, Paul, and great choice for the cover!
