So did you go almost to the Florida line the first day, then all the way back upstream???
You did 'take one for the team' with that trip.
Do you still think an overnighter through trip is worthwhile? Or did this show otherwise?
I did go almost to Florida.
You know the water level effects the trip so much.
In an attempt to go so far down I did not sample coral veins much. Passed dozens.
Found a spot at bottom of trip that had white clay w/hollows, so I collected there.
I believe this shoal known as 'rapids #6' is going to kill a Jon boat passage at low water levels. I have come to it from bridge 31 and it stopped me dead in tracks.
Yes, OK for a kayak/canoe portage. Doubt a mud boat or Go-Devil boat can be passed or portaged passed it.
This one rapid kinda kills a Jon boat over nighter from 376 to 31 I believe.
The blue line left to right is GA/FL state line.
You can find this on GE. GE photo is there.
Me and my neighbor attempted an overnighter on kayaks back in 2006. We got to rapid #6 and found the river totally impassible due to 2 foot high water hyacinth.
Had to drag kayaks several miles thru the forest. Got back to truck at 4AM. She(did marathons) thought it was an adventure. Not me.
Just saying, you never know if someone sprigged water hyacinth in the river. Never saw that one coming.
