Here’s a shot from frequent GS contributor Arlyn. Looks like we have Zach ‘Cover Boy’ Dean at the Dog on the Chattooga once again. Nice shot Arlyn, nice stroke Zach.

Looking upstream through the canyon

 About a week later, I headed up there again with some of the folks that I work with.  Keith Kirchner, my boss, has been a Gore guide for years, but wanted to get a practice run in before the season started up.  Here he is making it look good, and bad.  Carnage is awesome.

Everyone enjoys a good dump

Keith ended staying under for quite a while. All was good though.

Well, I’m signing out from the West.  Hopefully I will see ya’ll soon on the rivers of the Southeast.

Peace
