On Saturday June 27th 2004 I took Jay down the Elkhorn for his first trip on what should be one of many more to come. We had a great run at 1000cfs. We met up with some BWA boaters and ran with them. One of them even ran the dam against the corner wall. We'll be back very soon, I'm sure of it. Maybe now Jay will be more persuaded to buy a kayak of his own now that he has seen such a great creek so close to home.

Ocoee to the Hiwassee
Saturday, June 12th 2004
After not getting the raft down to Tennessee last year, this year we made sure to continue the tradition of rafting the Ocoee. It was the usual suspects this year with added newbies of Casey, Brandon and a couple of burg boys who had never gone whitewater rafting before. We made three trips on the river on Saturday, everyone left on Sunday. Ryan, Brandon and Casey punked out on us on Saturday and went home early. I stayed and kayaked the Hiwassee on Sunday. Casey and Chris Voit swam. River Rats was very good to us this year. After Brandon and Ryan kept everyone up all night they let us stay the next day, but they moved us under a pavilion out front. I am beginning to feel that I can run the Ocoee soon.

The next day I went up to the Hiwassee and kayaked with Meagan and Darrin. The Hiwassee was cool easy run, which what I was looking for. Good little surf spots, side surfing and some ledge drops.

Elkhorn Creek: after the storms
3300cfs
After work on Thursday I ran the Elkhorn. The waves were big, this is a great level for the Elkhorn. The damn was a little tight. Not much room at the portage.
