There were no serious wood issues today. Definitely wood in places but nowhere it could not be avoided. There was one tight slot on the left where a tree was down and under the second to last bridge a huge root ball in the middle section. Other than those two trees nothing but low hanging branches a...

Tye from Massies Mill 5/23/20

I put in a mile or so up the North Fork of the Tye and paddled to Massies Mill on the main Tye today and it was a great run. Good III+, maybe pushing IV for some. I would highly recommend this section. It only took like two hours or so at around 550 CFS. I had never paddled it before, but a solid pa...

I'll be there. I plan on leaving in about an hour. I live in Clifton Forge, so it will take about an hour to get there. I have a Blue Jackson Zen-2 and I'll be driving a tan 2003 Toyota Tundra. If you need to reach me my cell number is 540-969-9207. See you by the creek.

I'll paddle wherever if it works out. I'll plan to monitor the forum and play it by ear tomorrow morning based on what y'all decide.

Sunday Paddle

I am interested in paddling the Maury on Sunday if it works out. I got a new Werner Strike paddle for Christmas; I'd like to try out.

Ken, I am assuming you are organizing this trip? Is there a game plan, meaning, when and where are we meeting, and what section are we planning on paddling?

Thanks for the verification, that is where I thought it was.

See y'all in the am. I plan on leaving at 7. If all goes to plan I should be there around 10:30-10:45.

I'll be in a '03 Toyota Tundra, tan, with a blue Jackson Zen.

Katherine, Looking at the map more closely I did locate Owens Ave and Race St in Bloomington, MD. However this is not what AW has marked on the access page. I am just verifying that this is definitely the spot. It looks like Race St just dead ends. Which based on your description I believe that must...

Katherine,

I am interested in the trip on Saturday. Just curious more about exactly where we are meeting. I've never paddled the Potomac before.

I have paddled rivers like the Maury in Goshen Pass and the Ocoee before.

Thanks,

Hey Ken,

I'm interested in this trip. Is there anything I need to know other than what you posted? Like food or something special that each person bring.

I'd definitely like to paddle the gorge. I went down to the Ocoee this summer and paddled it with no swims two days in a row.

I'm interested. I've paddled Balcony Falls the last two weeks, but I am game for anywhere.
