LOL. Most places east of the Rockies I thought they just called "shooting the rapids" "paddle a little faster." --Vic Our spot is out in Bentonville along the Shenandoah's South Fork. I and II rapids, enough for me. I don't canoe there, but the rapids around Great Falls, Va., would be enough to send you home crying, if you survived. Fastest water I've canoed was the Current River in the Missouri Ozarks. Not far from where my Ma grew up and where I spent summers as a kid with chickens, a mule, outhouse, well, washtub baths and plenty of spiders. Late spring after a lot of rain. Even though there were fast bumpy places where the river narrowed, faster paddling handled it. I don't know the rapids classification system, and am far from an expert. Seemed about equal to that Deliverance stuff, but without the banjo music and bungholers. No compound bow either. Just always think of shooting the rapids as a "western" thing. I'll reconsider. --Vic |
