New to the Area - Southern Pines

Hello All. I moved out to the area from Colorado last August, and am looking for people in the local area that I can meet up with to paddle. I'll take any and all advice.

I am currently living in Southern Pines, NC.

I am a Class IV Kayaker, with experience on many rivers in the Colorado and Arkansas Basin. Shoshone, West Water, Pine Creek, Numbers, Slaughter House (Roaring Fork), and Poudre River. It has been a year since I last got wet, and I am looking to jump into some Class III to start.

I am familiar with rivers that run on snowmelt, and am trying to learn about the rivers that run when it rains.

I am also game to go rafting and have experience as a guide on Colorado rivers, and have run my own private trip down the Grand.

I am hoping to hit the Gauley this September and will be looking to meet up with someone who is going that direction.

Drop me a line at protopyre@yahoo.com if you would like to assist a wayward boater.

Ryan
