      <description><![CDATA[Gotta agree Matt. The New is an amazing place at these water levels (jumping around between 8 and 9 thousand. Punchy, with lots of awesome surfing opportunities, wide open, big, just awesome to run.

There are a few big holes you really need to watch out for, but just a few and if you have any familiarity with the river at all they're pretty easy to stay away from. 

             Y'all have fun now.

      <description><![CDATA[Most people squirt the New when it's fairly low. Actually, there's a four-wheel road that comes most of the way in to the Halls of Karma below Lower Keeney and lots of squirt boaters drive in and congregate there in the summer when it's below zero. 

Zero to negative one foot is probably pretty good for general squirting, especially for someone like you or I who's out of practice. As far as scratching your boat up goes, well, it's the New. You can get down the whole river without touching a rock at those levels, but you do have to know something about where those rocks are.

      <description><![CDATA[There was a Mirage standing in the back of Rock Creek at the Ocoee store last time I was there. Somewhere I have a slide of my old buddy Eric Gilbert doing a perfect boof in one at Sock em Dog. I think it would be a great modern race boat for some runs. Definitely faster than my Dancer. Hanley, what would be the perfect water flow range for a squirt boat trip to the NRG? Don't want any scratches and want to live through the experience... I'm way out of squirt practice ... just thinkin an old school squirt trip somewhere would be fun too.

      <description><![CDATA[The Little will be pretty low, even for the Sinks to Elbow section I think. Since Brit has a Lexington Singers Chorus concert Sat night, I'm only up for a quick day trip. Would need to be back by 6, 5 preferable, think that would leave a before lunch launch into the RFG as my only option. I'm working Sun so it's a one shot deal for me :(

I do have a XXX, an Ultrafuge and a Savage Fury if you want (like I said earlier about my serious problem).

I may even have raft spots. I will know later.

      <description><![CDATA[Jbob and I would like to go back to West Virginia to run the regular New River.

I think it would be great if we had a group of &quot;old school&quot; boats, kinda like the Shriners except different hats and not so nice to kids.

Would anyone be interested? I am only kinda kidding about the old boats.
