1. Oohhh I love the Nantahala, but...
I don't think I could ever bring myself to going through the falls as you do :hi:

4. I Want to Go Back
When it starts to warm back up again:)

I didn't do that part of the falls, I got off just before, at NOC - went down in one of their ducks. What a blast!

5. Thanks
I wish I had the arm strength to play around in the rapids the way these cats do.

Is that the Falls section? Is it pool-and-drop there? Class II or III? Fun!

8. II & III Both
III just for the falls, which went by zippy-like after an interesting II rapid. The section these guys were on is just below the falls.

9. Perfect. As an old phart, I'm no longer fit enough to do IV or (God forbid) V.
But I'm tickled to do II and III ... and some II's 'body surfing' (with helmet and vest, of course). I've never done the east ... older, smoother rocks and more established (eons) courses looks like just my style. The west has sooooo many wonderful rivers, it's awesome.



C'est moi.
