Highlights
1 a good first half , plenty of precipitation to keep the boats floating most anywhere.
2 i managed to get on a section of the New river in Virginia with Matt Brady and another volunteer from Gauleyfest.
3 paddled on the French Broad river in Tennessee with my sister and her husband.
Not so high points.
1 water got scarce in the second half of the year and paddling options became quite restricted.
2 I was unable to discern whether we were going upstream or downstream on the French Broad until 4-5 miles into the paddle.
3 i was able to hike in Obed national park system. The creeks were way too low to paddle, but on the other hand I can't help but to put paddling in the park on my bucket list.
