Reply #5: "I used to paddle a little whitewater" [View All]

In 1987, I upgraded to a Perception Dancer and spent years paddling. It was mostly in Western Pennsylvania, but I did make a lot of trips to run rivers like the Cheat and the Tygart in WV (and the very technical "Middle Fork"). I made a few trips down South to run the Ocoee, Nantahela, Chatooga, etc. We almost killed ourselves paddling the French Broad when it was at floodstage above bankful.

Now I just make a few trips on local streams to go convene with the kingfishers. I am much more into cycling these days--I don't have to do any driving to get there!
