Trip Report

ReporterRicky Whitley

The Flint is a nice river. I spent 4 days and nights on it one time and went all the way from where it looks like a ditch above Halonville near Zebulon. It took a while and there was a lot of dead water in areas where I wished I had a motor. camped out above the sea ( C ) , below David Knott bridge near Gay Ga. , Goat Mt. and above Goat Mt in somebody's waterfront yard. It was dark and a man hailed me , as it was just getting pretty dark. He offerd to let me camp there. He was a nice fellow, I'll never forget it. His name was Mr Fowler, an air traffic controller in Atlanta. Thats about the longest river camping trip on one river I've done. I miss camping on the Flint. It has changed over the years. A lot more Houses have been built. It's still one of my favorite floats in between notes. R. W. www.rickywhitley.com like my fan facebook page please.
