That's kind of a fun looking little river. and the scenery is nothing to sneeze at either! Being from Colorado, I don't know the southeast rivers as well as I perhaps should. I've done the Green Race and the Green without a race and that was fun. I did the Ocoee once and due to the sheer volume of out of control rafts I'll never do it again. Getting run over or out of every third play hole and rescuing someone's customers because they can't just doesn't strike me as fun for some reason. It gets less fun when someone's customer who knows nothing about boat balance or how to swim grabs your boat by the cockpit, pops your skirt and pulls you under. It makes it even less fun when they won't let go and force you to swim as your boat fills with water and as more rafts run you over. It's about as fun as jogging on the freeway at rush hour. You get hit over and over and they don't have enough control to slow down and definitely not enough to stop, ferry, or lend a hand. There are just way more rafts than the river can safely handle. I'm surprised that more people don't die on it. Anyway, that river looks like it would be fun, and I didn't see a single tourist raft on it. That in and of itself would make it worth doing.
@@WadeHarrison I haven't been in a boat in years, I miss it so much! One thing I loved about paddling white water was we got to see beauty no one else would.
Far out man..,far F-N out. The quad is a lofty goal I’ve set for meself that may never be achieved as my beaters streak is deep and hard to shed. Need more vids like this to keep me pushing for it. Cool stuff man🤘
It so wide open in there could probably do that Don't think your aloud to fly a drone in there really I got this drone footage from a hiker in the parking lot I don't know who it was?😉
Just do it Mike! Your gonna love it. I was in love with my Phantom, but probably gonna sell it now that I have a Code.You need to get back to the Southeast brother! Hope you and the family is all good.

yeah this place is amazing its not far from the green and raft traffic is crazy on the Ocoee I agree
So envious; so green & water in the river. Out west all we have are too low to boat rivers & red smokey skys with air that's not fit to breath.
Yeah Nick I love the PNW region but dam hate it when I see it burning like that hope all is ok to everyone out there
Just awesome, creating new memories for those 1st time runs.
Couldn't agree more!
Sick edit! That drone shot at the end was awesome! God, I love living in the South!
Yeah really got to see the falls in full with that shot so crazy something that massive is in there..

No better way to finish work than watch this with a cold beer in hand! Great vid Wade 👍
🍺 cheers
Wade, that drone footage was sick! Enjoyed the tour down the river as well!
Yeah it’s a short run but a full on day out there.
Those slides were dope AF 👀🙌🏽
Yeah that entire river is a gem

Thanks for watching T Mac

Why'd you guys walk those falls at the end that looks fun 😳🤣🤣
We ran it just didn’t get it on video😉
@@WadeHarrison hey wade I live in Greenville to bad I'm not a class 5 boater would be fun to ride with you at some point.
yee-haw that drone footage makes you look legit! it would be cool to be able to program a drone to follow you from start to finish.
It so wide open in there could probably do that Don't think your aloud to fly a drone in there really I got this drone footage from a hiker in the parking lot I don't know who it was?😉
@@WadeHarrison that's really cool the hiker got it to you...but yeah, I won't tell anyone if you don't. LOL! ;-)
@@mountainhobbit1971 😂
Sweet edit and nice work leading such a big pack of first timers! Did that bow damage you can see on the Billy at 6:40 and 7:00 happen on this run?
Yes he Piton the rock at Exit Ramp B I did not see it happen but heard it..
nice video! what paddle you running?
In this one because it was low water day I took My Werner Surge Left The Lettman in the Car.
So wade are you digging the code or what ? The mamba was a great boat so I can imagine the code is better
Yes its been really good on a lot different runs
Just do it Mike! Your gonna love it. I was in love with my Phantom, but probably gonna sell it now that I have a Code.You need to get back to the Southeast brother! Hope you and the family is all good.
@@jonnynails yeah I need to get out there for sure , I’m thinking the spring I’ll be there for a extended stay🙏👌
