Nolichucky Weekend
Mother Nature spoiled us this weekend, delivering perfect water levels, weather, and even a pretty spectacular nightlight for a pre-WOR trip to the Nolichucky.
USNWC trip
I had a couple of inquiries about the trip, but ultimately I think that the other natural flow rivers, and the Falls Dam running, my inability to car-pool (due to later plans) ended up making this a solo (or as we say in the UK – "Billy No Mates") trip.
How a trip on the Cape Fear can be in Durham
Having published weeks in advance a trip on the Cape Fear, as the date arrived I was about ready to cancel. On the 15th it was running around 4.5', but by the 18th it was running at just barely over 2' which, while higher than the 1.6" I'll never run again, isn't off by much. I'd received a few inquiries, but said that if it was below 2' I'd cancel. But still, I felt committed.

Most everyone was clinic-bound for the weekend, so I didn't know who I'd have the chance to paddle with.
