WOR Special Event #1
The first Saturday of Week of Rivers 2021 (July 3) has been designated as “Tuck Cancer!” Day to show support for and solidarity with our family and friends who have battled or are currently battling various forms of cancer. A number of our paddling friends are literally fighting for their lives as I type this. The Tuckasegee River offers trips for all skill levels in Bryson City and Dillsboro, NC. If you’re paddling on Saturday, make it the Tuck. (The Nantahala Gorge will be pretty insane over the weekend. Save that for Tuesday and beyond.) Several folks have already volunteered to organize trips on the Tuckasegee. We hope to see 5 or 10 or more trips out there on Saturday. Make it a Tuck Cancer! Day.
Update:
Thanks, Susan Eda for volunteering!

All participants in any Carolina Canoe Club (CCC) trip do so as common adventurers. The CCC or its individual members may coordinate paddling trips but no one is considered leader of a trip. As common adventurers, all participants take the responsibility for making their own decisions including, but not limited to, whether it is safe for them to participate on any particular water body, what equipment they need and use, the routes they may choose to paddle, whether their skill levels and abilities are adequate for the activity or whether climate and water conditions are appropriate for their participation. Participants are exclusively responsible for their own safety.

Individual coordinators for all CCC activities set requirements per their sole discretion. The CCC does not necessarily endorse or approve requirements set by coordinators.
