“Well be back!” That is how most Ugandans greet you when you come back to Uganda after being away. It means welcome back! And in January 2019, that’s what I heard many times on arriving in Uganda! I was a bit nervous to see what the river level would be and what...

Whitewater kayakers who live in Colorado, or most of the West for that matter, don’t have many opportunities to get in their boats in the winter. For the most part, we focus 100% of our time on winter sports, like snowboarding, ice hockey and snowmobiling. However,...
