Moormans

October 10,2005

A bunch of us ran the Moorman's Gorge Section this weekend. Mark and I had a low water run on Friday night, when the section below the dam was still running too low. The rain on Friday night brough prime conditions on Saturday morning and it was full on. We boated down from the third crossing. There are a few riverwide logs, so if you are headed up this way next time it rains, scouting is a must. I was impressed by the power of the river at this level... it was running three feet below the dam. We had a little bit of a hairy situation on the drop right below the third crossing put in. Also, beware of 4 point bucks traveling down Triple Drop. I would hate to get stuck by one of those horns!
