400 Miles by Kayak Down the Pacific Coast

Paul McHugh, outdoors writer for the San Francisco Chronicle, is one week into his 400-mile, estimated 40-day journey by kayak from from the mouth of the
Winchuck River in southern Oregon to Crissy Field beach in San Francisco. What’s so cool about that? What’s cool is how the Chronicle has chosen to chronicle the trip, with daily online reports and photos, podcasts, an interactive map, an "ask the kayakers a question" function, and other web resources. McHugh and his two kayaking companions, Bo Barnes and John Weed, are even shooting video of their big adventure. It’s just the kind of challenge  that McHugh, who has written about the "outdoors," for 20 years, was born for, and its multi-media presentation is just the thing that the web was born for. Always nice to see a happy marriage. Track McHugh and his pals here.
