My ALF rivers 2010

Post by craig »

To follow up on yarnellboats question about the size and scope of ALF and how many folks went, this could be a start. I've wondered about this too, after being to 4 ALFs and not meeting half the people there.
Day 1 Upper Wilson Creek N.C.
Day 2 Middle Tellico
Day 3 Upper Citico Creek
Day 4 Lower Citico Creek
Day 5 Middle Tellico
Day 6 lower Doe (not a pretty run, lots of litter and debris along it, but someone has to take one for the team)
I figured I boated with at least 35 people from the contact list and a few others that were not on it. THANKS EVERYONE!!

Sunday Watch OUT race, run middle tellico 9 boats
Thursday Middle tellico, snowmelt 11 boats
Friday Clear Creek, Lillie to Nemo 7 boats a little low
Saturday Bif South Fork, Confluence to O & W bridge low but really nice level, 7 boats

Not certain on # of boats on each run.
It was a absolute blast, good levels, new friends and decent weather. Hard to beat.

Sat- Clear Creek Lilly to Nemo in the Spanish Fly what a blast
Sun- Middle Tellico
Weds- Nanty with Helen tried the Raven by Esquif, VEry unusual boat, good for instruction, but couldn't figure out if it wants to be "paddled" from the bow or stern
Thurs- Nanty
Sure will be glad when rock slides are cleared as my blizzard experience alone up on the C. Skyway left me not wanting to drive back to TN. NExt year I will take all week off.
