Lovin’ some rain in the Southeast

Shhh. Don’t say anything but its been quite the late spring in the southeast!  And let me tell you after a couple years of drought that is a good good thing.  I chaulk it up to my good friend Matt Young going on spring break.  Matt teaches elementary school in Lake Placid, NY and for the last couple of years has sought to escape the mud and snow by taking a trip to the sunny southeast.  Usually we end up with a couple days of biking, a couple days on the Green and maybe one good creek run.  This year however things shaped up to be different.  Before Matt the rain had been treating us well for three or four weeks so the water table was actually pretty good for a change, all that we needed was just that extra bit to make it happen.  Well we got what we wished for, just enough to make for a great four days of kayaking!  There really is nothing like showing a good buddy done some of the best runs in your hometown.  Over the four days Matt was here we got on the Horsepasture, the Green (two days at almost high water:)), and to top it all off a perfect day on the Ravens Fork.  Enjoy the pictures, courtesy of Fergus Coffey!
