DODD CREEK

Dodd Creek is a beautiful stream tucked away in a tight gorge right outside of Helen Georgia. Dodd runs a lot due to its undisturbed watershed and tight gorge that has seven major rapids. It is very steep with must make eddies, anyone who tries to run this creek please try to keep a low profile.  Pictures at low flow (Not Running)

Lower Stekoa Creek

Stekoa Creek has always intrest me ever since the first time i passed by it on the Chattooga. Stekoa has a lot of flat water a couple massive waterfall rapids, great scenery etc.. What has detoured me in the past was the water quality. However this creek always runs. Always. So far I have not puked or diareahed on myself. I think the upper Stekoa is a lot better but the water quality is supposively worse.

Russell Fork: The Heart of Appalachia

The Russell Fork River located on the boarder of Virginia and Kentucky is fantastic. It releases water every weekend in October. The rapids are good class IV-V fun rapids with powerful holes and continuous nature. The Russell Fork is a great run and good alternative when nothing is running.

Thanks to Tuxedo Hydro station we as kayakers are able to keep our sanity in the desert, or southeast as others remember it. Yesterday it rained almost 3 inches on the green. The next day the level was around nine inches of sweetness and reminded us all how good she really is!

Helton Creek Falls

This waterfall is about eighty feet off vertical. Never run. The falls below it has been run and looks like a lot of fun.  I think the big one goes.

Working for the Weekend

We all have to work to enjoy life. Here are a few shots of Drew Duval and I working on a garage. Also a few shots of the first tile job we did.

Matt had a great day for his first time down the narrows.

The Rain is Coming.

However hurricane Gustav does not look like it will bring much rain to the southeast, the tropics are firing off. Tropical Storm Hannah looks like it will deliver rain to the Southeast and tropical depression nine is definitly  coming this way. Hopefully T.D. Nine will follow in Hannahs footsteps, wherever it goes it looks like the Southeast will get rain from both Hannah and T.D. Nine. Hopefully T.D. Nine wont be devastating to the Georgia coast as it has potential to be a big one. Maybe, just maybe THE SOUTHEAST IS BACK!!!!
