:Phillip Prince Presentation on Appalachian geology and Carolina whitewater.
Phillip Prince is a geologist, landslide expert and professor at Virginia Tech. Many whitewater paddlers know him as a Class V open boater. Prince came to the attention of the public with his video tutorials explaining why and how Hurricane Helene did so much damage.
Phillip will be giving a talk using his trademark multi-layered visuals to explain why Appalachian whitewater is so unique in the Carolinas. He’ll also touch on the effects of Hurricane Helene.
Following Phillip’s talk we’ll have our summer CCC business meeting.
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.
