Contact Randall Barna and get on his email list. He and his buddies (guys & gals are invited) have a goal to paddle the Deschutes River every month of the year. Note the white lump on the left side of this photo. It's Mt. Bachelor covered in January snows. That mountain is part of the Cascade Range that feeds water into this VERY cold river. Despite the craziness of this group, they do have standards. They only paddle if the air temp is 32F or above. They tried it at colder temps, but the ice build-up made loading the boards on the cars hazardous. Hard to believe that a bunch of paddlers fresh off a Winter river filled with lava rock boulders and submerged tree trunks are worried, but hey, Safety First! http://standuppaddlebend.com
