Stately pleasure domes

Last weekend I was with a party from the Winston-Salem/Greensboro area of North Carolina on the Tuckaseegee River. We pulled out at a beach below the best surfing spot on the river, at what I am told is the traditional lunch and potty stop. But this weekend no one could go into the woods to take care of personal maters, because there were newly-posted No Trespassing signs. Seems a new owner had taken possession in the last year. Barry Kennon, pro C-Boater. Posting his land against paddlers. We learned the identity of the new owner from a crew of young Kennon groupies who were out there moving rocks around in the river bed to make the rapid more interesting so they could hang gates (we didn't ask if Kennon intended to get permission from the owner of the land on the opposite bank, to string cables from his trees). They had built a significant cobble dam on river left to channelize the flow. I wonder if Barry Kennon sports an anti-dam sticker on his vehicle? Hypocrisy has been in plentiful supply of late, but this deserves an award, e.g. the Nobel Hypocrisy Prize. Which section of the Tuckaseegee was this, Oci-One? Tuckasegee, East Fork Bonas Defeat Gorge V+ Tuckasegee, Section Above Tanasee Creek Reservoir III-V Tuckasegee, Section Cedar Cliff Reservior to Cullowhee I-II(III) Tuckasegee, Section Dillsboro to Rt. 1392 II(III) Tuckasegee, Section Whittier to Bryson City I-III Tuckasegee, West Fork Thorpe Dam to Tuckasegee River III-IV+(V) |
