Cullasaja PFD and scouted Chauga Narrows Jan. 11, 2006

Went up to the Cullasaja it was hot with a blistering high of 29 and snowing with 60mph winds. Scouted the middle section then went down to Cullasaja falls, what a beutiful falls. Went back to the middle section to run it. The river has some class III boogie before First Ledge. On the First Ledge IV, an eight foot waterfall on RL and slide/boof on RR, I ran the middle right slide into a boof not to much longer down the river is Second Ledge IV, same lay out but with a rock to piton into in middle, I hit the line i wanted perfectly, RR, but I found some rocks at the bottom of the pool. There is some more boogie with a tree in one of the rapids so run that one on RR. I took out at T-bone because it was to low to run it because of all the potholes in the line and also has a tree in the RR line for the first to small ledges.

Tried to check out Triple Falls on the Cully but found I couldnt get down there easily because of the snow. Also went to the Overflow put in.

Got to the Chauga River and decided to check out the Narrows. The First Falls IV is a 10ft not to clean but straight drop. Could maybe run RL straight down or RR which is a boof onto a slide. In about 15 ft is The Chute V which is pretty much a 4ft crack in the rock that probably drops about 10-15ft but the water is just blasting threw and would be realy bad to flip there. The Third Slide III should be run RR or middle. Some people told me that it was illegal to boat The Narrows but I dont believe them.
