I saw an ad on Facebook that they were giving stuff away, tents, boats, etc .... I figured there was a catch ... glad to hear you won!

I paddled Sec. III in my kayak last spring, very cool run. I started by putting in above Bull Sluice, which is a fun hole and took out at Woodland Falls. I recommend it to everyone.

Yeah!!! Don't forget who you're local friends are that are Chatooga worthy! You especially want someone that will truck it down the Five Falls for the first time with no hesitation, and will provide plenty of laughs, carnage, and an excellent opportunity to put those hard earned SWR skills to use.

Comeon, you know you want to........

I live up in Wesser at the NOC outpost in the summer. Post when you are goin and I could grab some friends and meet up with you and show y'all down if you need it. Section IV is hella fun but that paddle out sucks. The section that the guy above was talking about is 3.5 which is from Bull Sluice to Woodall Shoals. The guides we have down there are absolutely nuts so you'll enjoy that part too.

I went to guide school with Quinn. I told Adam he would be a good one to get for the crazy factor. I rafted it with Trick last year. He was definitely a good guide.

Used to run a bike shuttle on that section. Only a few miles of dirt road and a fun, less intense run than section 4- 5 falls. :hammer:

The best time is probably goin to be whenever they first start running em. Longer you wait into summer the bigger chance that it dries up like it did last year. Running it at a foot takes the fun out of it. Ha. Still some fun in a kayak, but i doubt it'd be the same pushin rubber. Hey Kayakn, I'm in Monroe at school right now, but if anything runs in ark i'm down to meet y'all in bosier and drive up man. Would love to hit up some of those IV - V micros. I gotta go back to TXK this weekend and I might try to hit the 'tot if only to bump down the falls.

I didn't think the Chattooga was dam controlled. If not, how the heck are you, ahem, I mean WE :D supposed to plan a trip around it?
