Ocoee, June 12, 2010

I had not paddled with Gavin Faye , Craik Davis, or Rob Strangia since our weekend in West Virginia on the Gauley River last September so I was excited to meet up with them for a great run down the Upper & Lower Ocoee River at high level. A landslide had changed the putin and another one had taken out the wooden flume over Tablesaw allowing the Middle Ocoee to run continuously and level to vary. I got there early & watched the water fill the Olympic course. What a great day!!!
