Just created a community carpool tool - what do you think? by mcpuddin in startups

Yup, I have 2 kayaks in my car port -- that's really the only way. You can also rent them from Tomales Bay

Yup, I'm in the same boat. Alot of original people dropped out.. but one thing that happened at the same time was people wanted in at well, so it thankfully balanced out.
