Had a great day canoeing Overflow Creek yesterday

We took advantage of the tropical storm type rains that hit highlands nc (over 10" is 48 hours!) and canoed Overflow Creek yesterday. Overflow might be my favorite run in the southeast.

I'm posting because we might have had a record for the most canoes on one trip down Overflow with 4: Roy from Illinois, Matt from Knoxville, Eli and myself. It was awesome. The kayaks were very surprised to come around the corner and see 4 canoes!

We shot some video. I will try to post it next week.

Did Roy get BIG EYES

Sounds like it was a fun time Dooley... y'all need to get him on Big Creek and the Green next... he's ready.

Roy had an awesome day. Now he's done two of the best runs in the southeast. He ran the west prong with us last year. The green is next on the list. I offered to take him this weekend but he's going back to the gauley. I will be at the green on saturday or sunday.

He's going to be around for a while. You should come down and run some stuff with us.

Cool guys... I've gotta wait and see what/when the doc. wants to schedule this whole carpal tunnel dealio I've been dealin' with.

For those of you that might be reading this that don't know Roy Crimmins... he's the best paddler I know that doesn't know how to use the internet.
