Trip Report

ReporterJohn Pruitt

We ran it Saturday 2/7/04. Cheoah was around 120 CFS. Seemed to be about the same level the pictures were taken at. Seemed like a Good level, maybe a little low. 4 peoplein our group ran most of the stuff and 2 of us walked most of it...I was in the latter. But still fun. We ended up walking from below the falls all the way to below the sieve. We weren't real sure about where it was. Seems like you could run some of the other stuff below the falls but before the Sieve. The Portage 'trail' was marked with orange ribbons which made the portage a little easier...but not much easier. Someone should paint a gauge on one of the bridges so we could start to figure out what it takes to run...
