If I can only find a way to overlay the NOAA charts with a fancy button on this map. Been trying to break through the code, I’ve tried a tutorial or two, but I am lost. Oh well…at least they work.

The nice fellows at Geogarage have created something I’ve been looking for off and on for YEARS: the combination of Google Maps’ easy, intuitive awesomeness and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) navigation charts.

I hope my hack works a while. I can’t figure out where the chart images are.

Yay! (clicky)

At a little over 1000 cfs, this section offered little risk or challenge, but still provided a fun Saturday paddle close to home. It was good to be in a whitewater boat again:)
