I'm Collin, 21 years old from Cincinnati. I just started paddling in March, so I really don't know what the hell I'm talking about. I've got a couple of Old Towne kayaks, and am looking for a Pirouette right now. I'm the one on the river with a cooler strapped to the forward deck, and drinking a beer while floating merrily along. I paddle the healthy way: beer, cigarettes, and boats. After the first time I paddled on the river, I noticed how much crap was floating in it. There was not really a whole lot, but enough that it irritated me. Now, everytime I paddle, I take a garbage bag. I float along and pick up any trash I see along the way. Maybe we should all start doing this, it makes for a better river for all.
