We put in at the PBL near Bridal Creek, and take out at the Allisonia PBL, the start of Claytor lake (and miles of dead water). The Bridal Creek to Independence section sees Penitentiary Shoals, Mountain Island, and the Molly Osborne. After the Molly is a low water bridge that's gotta be run...

The river is the New, located in NC, Va, and W.Va. Runs south to north. Rain a bit during the week, weather was cool, but comfortable making for easy paddling. As the volume was up, we were running at about 3 knots easy and making good time with little effort. Should you get tired of the heat...

Last week's run on the New was great....a few pics Fishing at Fries 20 miles, and a rain storm later we put in at Foster Falls having run the upper staircase. The New is now 6 feet above normal, and cranking at 8k CFS. The Mill Race at Foster...seldom runnable at low water Tent City...

George, I'll be posting additional photos soon on how to use this with z drags, 3 to 1's and the single Mariner hauling system

Need to unpin a boat on the river, or any time an off axis pull is required, a self equalizing anchor system is ideal. To begin, about 15 feet of static line will be required. The minimum diameter is 10.5mm. To tie this anchor is fairly simple, as everyone can tie this knot (a overhand, aka, a...

From Ralph Lane's journal (1584) he details his journey on the Chowanoac (now Chowan river). In his notes he mentions a village called the "blind Towne" called by the Chowanoacs, Ooanoke. For the most part these "Townes" were located on or near the rivers that flowed into Albermarle Sound...

A hidden jewel of a canoeing park in the Albemarle region of North Carolina, located in Gates County (36° 25' 52.75" N 76° 41' 52.15" W) The park's new ramp. No more mud in the boat. Nice! The Way In A Wall of Cypress Cypress Knees Blue Flags (Iris) The Path Ahead Sun...

Rainy Lake......around a warming fire, voyageurs are heard softly singing En Roulant Ma Boulle as the day ebbs into night....one voyageur (Kayak Jack :wink: ) steps forward, and sezs....... Je peux porter, barboter, marcher, ou chanter avec n'importe quel homme que j'ai a jamais vu Un...

yep, some of the rivers that we run require us to pack out our post processed meals......your thoughts on this subject???

(Here's hoping that I don't ire the company's new owners...) :( If ya be needing a windscreen for ye ole Zip, you'll find that a Turtle wax can will fit the stove like a glove. Remove the bottom, and cut a port in the side to feed the little beastie and ya'll be good to go... 8)

Hey KJ, I'm over in SW Virginia - will be guiding a wee bit this summer on the New.... Here's a link for those boots.... http://www.nrsweb.com/shop/product.asp?pfid=2338

Tying oneself in on moving water is suicide. Consider being tied in when you bowman over compensates on a draw/cross draw stroke to dodge a pillow on a technical CII+ run, thus allowing the current to flip, and oilcan the boat....the thought of being dashed and bashed on rocks tied into a...

I carry a small metal wash basin which is used as a firepit.....a layer of sand/dirt etc goes in the bottom, small rocks are lined on the inside around the perimeter. If need be, they can be bricked in with a little mud. Larger rocks are used to elevate the "firepit" to keep it off the ground...

Of all the stoves that I've used (MSR Whisperlites, MSR XKG, Primus Multifuel) the litttle Zip stove is my all around favorite....however, my suggestions to those good folks at Zip on how to improve this stove has been ignored :cry: which was to use a gyro, or a flywheel to run the fan...
