The last two days have contained some pretty darn good kayaking. Yesterday was my first time on Overflow Creek where we had a solid medium level that padded things out nicely. I can see why that river is such a classic, tons of fun. After a bit of a slow start today I made my way up through Chattanooga to Bear Creek for some high water action. We put on mid afternoon while the gauge read 21", although once on the river the general consensus was that the gauge has changed a bit and it felt more like an old 26".

Pushy water and munchy holes were the order of the day. I ran everything and was fortunate to have good lines. There was however one swim(no names) and a few scary lines, but everybody made it down in one piece. It was one sweet day on the river for sure.
