New River Trip: John's Last Paddle

Day 1
Prince to Thayer

Day 2
Thayer to Thurmond

4 ft
3260 cfs



Toby, Cory, Zack, Michael, Zach, John, Johnny and I went to the new river this past weekend. It was a great time on the river. Day one was much longer with lots more playing in the rapids. We had 3 canoes and 5 kayaks running in our group. There were lots of Outfitter duckies running this section. At our Thayer camp we invented our own rock throwing version of corn hole. Day 2 was short and sweet with Silo being the highlight. Cory had a little swim here, got to use my throw rope to pull the boat to shore before it fell over the next drop. I definitely would like to go back hit this again some time.

Back at White Cloud

level:
Fredricksburg: 300cfs-390cfs
White Cloud: 700cfs

Went to White Cloud with Jay and Beastie tonight after work and surfed the madness. The wave was actually decent at somewhere between 390cfs and 300cfs on the Fredericksburg guage. So if it is ever reading that low and you are itching for some water to get on, go on out. I was glad I did.
