Participants:

Saturday on the Ocoee – Woody O'brian, Jon Godwin, Fast Fred Ruddock, John Z

Sunday on the Nantahala – Julie and Barry Schmidt, Jeffrey Hatcher, Woody O'brian, Jon Godwin, John Z

Perfect weather, both for paddling and camping. We got two runs on the Middle Ocoee on Saturday, the first (almost) to ourselves. On Sunday, we paddled the Nantahala, again with the river (mostly) to ourselves. Great weekend. Thanks to the fun crew.

Rich Ruhlen and Joan Monnig send sincere thanks to all for making the CCC Easter Trip a success!

We had great weather with pleasant sunny days.  You can’t beat rain on Thursday to fill the rivers for Friday/Saturday/Sunday paddling fun!
