Etowah River

 I spent a cold February day on the river with Daniel and sixteen other people.  We paddled the Etowah River with the intentions of going through an old mining tunnel that was 1/4  mile long.  It was supposed to be dark, narrow, quick and scary.  Just what I was looking for.  :)   Needless to say when we arrived, there were "no trespassing" signs with a fine of $5,000.  Dan, myself and all but a few opted to paddle on down the river instead of taking our chances.  With the temperatures in the 30's, we decided not to chance getting stuck in a dark cold tunnel alone nor pay a fine.   (maybe when it gets warmer :)

But, it ended up being a fun day on the water.  We had obstacles that made the paddle exciting, a takeout that took every bit of leftover energy, and we met new friends to paddle with in the future.  Can't wait till next time.  :)

    Hi, that looks like so much fun, but I'd hate to fall in the water in February.  Now I wouldn't mind in July though!!!  I have never gone kayaking, but I will someday. In your blog you mention the Etowah River.  Is that in Etowah, NC?
