River access points are shut down. My friend and I tried to run from confluence to Leatherwood Ford today and parking area is off limits. Had planned on running it around 860 or so cfs in a shredder but were unable to secure safe and secure access without harassment. We ended up speaking with an LE officer with the BSFNRRA who equated it to being like wally world on National Lampoons Vacation. Neither one of us found it too funny the river being off limits. In any event river access closed until further notice. I'm not sure how to do this on here through AW but Simon Krzych I'm interested in speaking to you if you dont mind. Several river related questions. Please reach me at wsteel15@gmail.com. Thanks again everyone. Hope to see you on the river.
