Wayne Jones (trip coordinator), Lee Thonus, Jim Cyrek, Joshua Gross.

Hot August day, lots of paddlers at the Barnard put-in around 11 am. We decided to set shuttle at Hot Springs, and do both sections, from Barnard to Stackhouse, and then Stackhouse to Hot Springs. This a first time trip on the French Broad for Joshua, with 2 days on the Nantahala and a few Tuck trips under his belt.

Seth Bosman, Len Prosnitz, Riley Pfeiffer and I set out on a three-day trip to Western NC to get wet. We ended up with three trips down the Pigeon and one on the Nanty before we left to return on Saturday, July 30.

The fifth annual Families Paddle, Too was a big success! Based on Hot dog count we had around 100 folks at the event. Weather was great all weekend and no injuries were reported.

Return of 5-Day Ocoee Week – First Five-Day Ocoee Week

By ff@fastfreds.com Posted on June 9, 2016 Posted in

Participation was low during this trip. I suspect many folks have to work M-F and there were lots of options for intermediate+ boaters over the weekend. On the other hand it is hard to beat five days of warm whitewater boat riding. I somehow avoided working Saturday and Sunday and spent my windfall of time shooting carnage video as well as paddling.

Big Laurel Creek 5/14/16

It's unusual to get the highlight of the trip before you finish setting shuttle, but this day was different. On the way back from dropping off the cars in Hot Springs there was a mama bear in a peach tree with a cub on the ground. She was pigging out after winter and apparently oblivious to how unripe the peaches were.

Cape Fear Novice Trip 2016

By Rick Steeves Posted on May 5, 2016 Posted in

I've run a novice trip at the end of April (with a few notable gaps) since 1996, normally just non-boating friends that I've dragged along. I pick the end of April because it's the best window for possibly having water yet being warm enough for novices. A common complaint I hear is that the club needs to post more novice trips, and this year I extended that out to the club community.

Friday: Nantahala gorge: Jamilla Squires, Jim Wendling, Art Berg (PFD!), Me. Had a cloudy, cool day to warm up our first day of the weekend. Sprinked a litlle but was really great to be back on the river.
