| The
Kayak and Canoe Put In Page is a Wiki. A Wiki is a website that
allows the visitors themselves to easily add, remove, and
otherwise edit and change available content, and typically
without the need for registration. This ease of interaction and
operation makes a wiki an effective tool for mass collaborative
authoring. The term wiki also can refer to the collaborative
software itself (wiki engine) that facilitates the operation of
such a Web site, or to certain specific wiki sites, including
the computer science site (the original wiki) WikiWikiWeb and
on-line encyclopedias such as Wikipedia (That's where I got this
information from).
To use this page, simply click on a numbered location in the
map (or a text link below). You will be re-directed to a
new page that has lots of useful put-in information for that
location. If the page for that location hasn't been edited
yet, you can edit it by clicking the "edit this page"
link at the top or bottom of the page. There, you will be
allowed to edit several of the fields for the benefit of other
users.
Please edit responsibly! Try to put the appropriate
information in each field. For example, don't put Parking
information in the Amenities field. Also, in an effort to
prevent vandalism, your IP address will be logged when you make
an edit.
You will not be allowed to edit every field. If you
would like to submit a link to an external site, please use the
Contact Us Form to suggest an external link. We will
manually review your submissions, and post them if they are
appropriate. An example of an appropriate submission would
be a link to your trip report for the specified location.
Your trip report can be in any format you like, as it will be
hosted remotely from the San Francisco Bay Kayak and Canoe Put
In Locations site. You are encouraged to help us link to
trip reports, as they are a very valuable resource for paddlers.
Please do not assume that all of the information contained in
this site is absolute fact. This site is intended to be a
useful resource and guide. As with any guide service,
there is always a possibility for errors. This possibility
is increased by the multiple-editor nature of this guide.
Before you leave, check the maps, and compare them with what you
are reading. Does the information make sense? Use
your paddlers sense to verify conditions once you arrive to the
put-in. If something doesn't seem safe, don't do it!
If you discover something that might be dangerous or helpful for
other paddlers, please come back and help edit our site.
You may save other kayakers a lot of hassle and time.
Remember that you are responsible for your own actions. |
