Personal info: I live in rural WNC (near Rocky Broad and Linville), but formerly based my paddling out of the Atlanta metropolis, and before that out of WNC, E. Tenn. and yes, even Mississippi. I have paddled up and down the East Coast and some runs out West and in other countries. One of my personal highlights was paddling on an expedition-style self-support whitewater kayak trip on the Colca and Cotahuasi Canyons in Peru with my lovely wife Jennifer. My most recent "new" run was the Eagle Section of the Beaver River, a fun micro creek with slides near Old Forge, NY. I'm always interested in boating with new people, that's part of the enjoyment of "river time".
