I would definitely be interested in this. Have hit some good class II's and have dabbled in class III's. I think this would be in my experience range at normal/lower river levels.

I'm ready to try it again. It's been a few years, but I have a new boat that should work just fine.

I would be interested in tagging along! I've done one descent of the lower (at low levels), and this group sounds like a great time to give it another run.

i have a OCT trip on the lower james on June 17 planned, if you want to turn it into a Firsttimers trip, that would be cool with me. It my first time leading a OCT so I am kinda excited, and would be thrilled to have a bunch of first timers out on the Riva. If you want to do it another day, then I will still help out with saftey and whateva else is needed.
