Floating opportunities in TN during May show
I can recall at least one person that will bring something to float. Is anyone else floating? I have been hoping to float the watauga for quite a while. I have a Blue Heron so I dont think I would like to be in any high rated whitewater sections. If anyone is planing to float in an area that toons can be used and dont mind the company please let me know.
I miss those days with toondaddy and them flotillas...
Cheers...  |

I think I can find a put in for the Caddis Riffle.
I'll have the trailer with one toon on it.
We need a third floater to make the shuttle work - surely there's at least one other who'll want to float.

Yep, I'm in and looking forward to it. If I'm reading you right, you have a way to avoid going through the rapids at Bee Cliff ? I know a lot of the guys do it, but I'm intimidated by it because of my lack of experience in fast water. I have a pickup (but no trailer) if that will help with the shuttle.

Fishcat, your truck is fine. A shuttle requires a minimum of three people and two vehicles.
Judy and I have been through all of the rapids on the Watauga and none are an issue in a toon.

FC, your pickup truck will help. We will figure it out how we balance the load later as we might have a few join us. I think we can float friday as saturday might be harder due to more wadding folks in the water depending on what stretch we float. If your toon is 8 feet or longer then you should be ok. Soho is probably a bigger challenge to float. If we stick to Watauga we should be ok.
Chime in folks, that is a big river!
