Trip participants:-K1:- Patrick Pugh, John Harper, Kevin Tuttle, Paul Scrutton

We paddled the Milburnie Dam to Poole Rd section of the Neuse river.The trip was 3.5 miles long. Level was 135cfs (1.14' on the online gauge).

While Kevin and I had paddled this section before, it was Patrick's first time on this section of the river and it was John's first time paddling a kayak on a river.

The trip was quite uneventful, no flips. At one of the rapids we all did a little surfing on a small wave.

I had a couple of inquiries about the trip, but ultimately I think that the other natural flow rivers, and the Falls Dam running, my inability to car-pool (due to later plans) ended up making this a solo (or as we say in the UK – "Billy No Mates") trip.
