 “Gage, Stage, Discharge” by Alton Chewning

A USGS hydrologic technician explains how the river measurements we rely on arrive on their websites. 

“What to Make of the Neuse River Park?” by Alton Chewning

“How to Run a Big Drop” by Alton Chewning

The first of two overviews on how serious jumpers tackle big waterfalls. 

The December issue of Carolina Paddler will have the final article on River Gages, where we accompany hydrologic technicians in the field.

Our article on “How to Run a Big Drop” sparked a lot of interest, and some questions and we will try to delve more deeply into the subject with help from an expert, Boyd Ruppelt, and a look at the progression of a CCC jumper.

Zach Schiada has an intriguing idea for a Scavenger Hunt/Paddle Challenge for the eastern and western parts of our state.

And maybe… we’ll get around to writing profiles of some of our most distinguished members.
