March 12 Uwharrie Float















The river level today was just barely below the Low Water Bridge and the flow was swift. We were the 3rd party on the water so there was very little wildlife to see. Start time was just after 10am. Just before our departure we met a fellow from Kannapolis in his kayak. His mission was to set up some geocaches along the river.
















Here we are at Lunchstop Rock enjoying a PB&J sandwich. Our Kannapolis kayaker joined us here. I love this outcropping of Carolina blue slate. We did locate another much smaller rock outcropping slightly downriver on river left. Perhaps that will be an alternate lunch stop in the event the main venue is occupied.















No mishaps on this trip. We ended up at the 109 bridge around 1:30 finally catching up with the 3 kayakers ahead of us.
