French Broad Section 9
I’ll be leading a trip on the French Broad Section 9, Barnard to Stackhouse with leader’s option to run to Hot Springs if the weather or water conditions are nice.
Meet at Stackhouse, suggested time 930 am, to consolidate boats, then leave at 10am leaving vehicles and dry clothes at take-out.
This will be a gently-moving play/skills run with plenty of time for eddying, ferrying, surfing. This is a January run, so proper winter paddling attire is a must. (drysuit or drytop/pants, or wetsuit plus shell, and layers).
Dinner afterwards in Asheville — likely tacos or Mexican.
Let me know by that previous Wednesday if you’re interested! marc@marcharkness.net and my phone number is 919-880-8922.
Other options: If Big Laurel is in and the group skill level is up for it, we may do that instead; or have a group break off for BL. If water is too high, we may move trip to Nantahala area.
All participants in any Carolina Canoe Club (CCC) trip do so as common adventurers. The CCC or its individual members may coordinate paddling trips but no one is considered leader of a trip. As common adventurers, all participants take the responsibility for making their own decisions including, but not limited to, whether it is safe for them to participate on any particular water body, what equipment they need and use, the routes they may choose to paddle, whether their skill levels and abilities are adequate for the activity or whether climate and water conditions are appropriate for their participation. Participants are exclusively responsible for their own safety.
Individual coordinators for all CCC activities set requirements per their sole discretion. The CCC does not necessarily endorse or approve requirements set by coordinators.
