Pack & Paddle Tee Shirts In Stock Now!


For all of you that have been asking, our new T-Shirts have finally arrived!

The graphic is designed by Salida, Colorado artist and friend of P&P Jon McManus. A few months ago, Becky and I were in Salida eating dinner with Jon and his wife Ricky. I mentioned that we were looking for a new graphic and he immediately wanted to give it a shot.

We spent some time looking at pictures of trips on the Pack & Paddle website. Jon was immediately drawn to a photo taken on a Lake Martin sunrise paddle in November of 2008. The new graphic is an adaptation of this photo spliced in with our name and our "Inspiring Horizons" by-line.

The graphic was created with a style of drawing called "pointillism" which is created through the imprint of thousands of tiny dots. The effect is amazing - and we couldn't be happier with our new graphic.

Jon McManus lives in Salida, Colorado and specializes in drawings ranging from workmen to town scenes to the trees and mountains surrounding his cool little town nestled into the heart of the Rockies.
