PHOC leader and personal buddy, Will, led this float on the Dan River from Danbury downriver. There were just seven of us on this float. It began rather chilly and warmed up a bit but not as much as the forecast called for. There were a number of class 1 riffles and rock gardens to negotiate. We managed to stay to together as a group the entire way. Lunch was on a scenic side creek. I enjoyed a nice tuna salad sandwich.
Just past the lunch stop we had this great view of an old bridge over the river. No longer in use and on private land, this bridge would have been a great place to cross the river on the MST.
Everyone passes through this rapid without incident. Not everyone was so lucky on the final rapid right at the take out. I misunderstood the instructions and took the easy route while everyone else went through the mildly techinical side. There was a strainer her that required a quick turn and one member of our group failed to make the turn in a timely fashion and got wet. Nothing more than ego bruised.
