The drought has finally ended in the SE, but we didn't have local water for a long time. I have been making this blog post as a general list and will add media as I find time.
Jan 1 2024 BCC Feast on the Beach. River too low to paddle but we had a nice get-together.
Jan 7 2024 G Cave with Lee A., Emily L. and Tammy P.
Jan 14 2024 Mulberry. Level around 1.5 I think. With Lynn and Andy, Ryan, others. I didn't realize it but I was getting sick.
Jan 15 2024 I woke up with Flu A in the middle of an ice storm. Not fun stuff. The ice storm meant I didn't see a doctor until I had been sick four days, so no Tamiflu for me. It took me a good three weeks to feel over it. Fortunately it didn't ruin my ski trip mentioned below.
Feb 3-10 Ski Snowmass Aspen. 17" of powder, beautiful days and usual (some others had unusual) adventures getting to and from Aspen airport.
Feb 23-25 Snorkel with manatees and SCUBA dive Rainbow River and Ginnie Springs. Amazing weekend with friends in Crystal River Florida.
March 2-3 Mulberry Fork Races. I gate judged Saturday, went home that night and came back up to race OC2 with Steve I. Level was a beefy 3.5 feet Saturday and 2.5 feet Sunday.
March 24 Mulberry. In the WS EZG 50. Level around a foot, perhaps a bit less. Sunny, warm but in drysuit still. It was a day for the Antix on Lunchstop and 5-0, the EZG was too slow. Training Wheels still wonderful. With Ed Russell and others.
March 30 Cahaba Grants Mill to Overton. Level 233 cfs/1.38 ft. Sunny cloudless day, upper 70's, very little traffic on the river, plenty of current. Trip took 4.5 hours going at a very relaxed pace. With Dave H. and Angie A.
