The Missouri River Relief crew got to rendezvous with Scott and fellow river expeditioner Janet Moreland near Plattsmouth, NE, on our way to a river clean-up in Omaha. photo courtesy of Scott Meztrezat.
Scott Mestrezat filmed his entire journey as the first stand up paddleboarder to travel the entire Missouri River. We will be one of the first audiences to see the final result – this inspiring and beautiful film of an amazing river trip.
In 2013, Scott quit his job, built a wooden stand up paddleboard, and then paddled the entire Missouri River. From Three Forks, MT, through the string of massive lakes, then down to the Confluence of the Missouri and Mississippi River, Scott finished his journey below the St. Louis Arch.
Scott joined us via Skype, and the film was introduced by Colombia’s own Janet Moreland, featured in the film, who became the first woman to solo paddle the entire Missouri/Mississippi River Source to Sea in 2013.
Our gratitude to RagTag for welcoming us and donating their space for this fundraising event!
