We had a fantastic trip!! We shortened the run due to local beta. We paddled from Big Rock (private put-in) to Sugar Island Campground. We had 6 ACC members (3 are brand new) and persuaded 2 others to join up!! 3.99' is not enough water to keep from dragging (quite often) and is not a great level fo...

Cyclone rd. to Sugar Island. (7-8mi)

Rec-boating time! This crystal clear, gem of a creek is going to be good to go for the weekend! It has twists, turns and a few limbs to watch out for. This is the essence of spring fed, class I+ rec-boat PARADISE!!!! :yahoo: :kayak: :canoe: :drool2: :beer2: :jaws: :thumbup: :shh: :clap: :yahoo: We w...

I want to see that!! I just spin like a top..

We have had a Limelight 3 since April of 2012. It's the prior generation tent. They updated the door design and the look for the new one.

We have stayed 100+ nights in this tent. It is very dry. Even during multiple-day downpours.

The Nemo would definitely be worth a look as well.

Did you paddle Big Sugar? How was it at that level? Big/Little Sugar, Indian Creek area is my plan for a week in April. Any info on the streams, recommended campgrpounds, etc. would be very much appreciated. Thanks. I went with a closer run so that i could honor my buddy, Jon on Saturday night. I'm...

Mike

Sounds like the cfs to ft ratio had changed at the gauge. Powell is the only one on the creek that I'm aware of.

It's at 4.16' / 38cfs The lowest recorded level that i have paddled it was 4.9'

Any input for the level this weekend? I'll call Sugar Island this afternoon. I'm dying to get on this creek. Its one of my favorite rec-floats!

NW and RV chapters need to be ALL OVER THIS!!!!!!

These are our responsibility! Our back yard runs!

That's 40/29s M.O. "If the story isn't there, MAKE one…. Or else."

I like how Craig points to the police patrolling the park to enforce the rules that 40/29 says don't exist.

I have been at WOR where it was sunshine every day for the event. But, that area of NC is well known for summer cloud bursts that now and then last all day!!!!!! Or in the case of last year, all week long. The Nantahala Cascades were running high with no release, French Broad was somewhere between ...

OH MAN!!!! I wish we could go!!! Get ready for the trip of a lifetime!

Looking good for me, so far. The ladies have cooler things to do than hang with me tonight.
