Hot August day, lots of paddlers at the Barnard put-in around 11 am. We decided to set shuttle at Hot Springs, and do both sections, from Barnard to Stackhouse, and then Stackhouse to Hot Springs. This a first time trip on the French Broad for Joshua, with 2 days on the Nantahala and a few Tuck trips under his belt.
