    Nice little trip, I've loaded up my yaks and we plan to fish Lake Junaluska today after work.

      Cool. I like the Uwharrie but most of the time the water is too low to paddle. It is great to catch the water at this level. I hope you enjoyed your trip.

    Great video as usual. I'm heading up to the Au Sable River in Michigan in a couple weeks for a 3 day trip. Can't wait.

      Awesome. Are you going to do a video on the trip? I would love to see that. Ever since I visited Michigan back in 2014 I have wanted to paddle the video.

      Lets hook up for a short overnighter down there. It has lots of potential for camping.

      This would be perfect for a little overnighter. If the water is right you might could squeeze in a two night trip. Are you coming up on the 18th of May?

    Looks like you caught it with good water flow. Seems I usually see people doing some dragging in the Uwharrie.

    • @MonkeyNAround
      @MonkeyNAround  5 лет назад

      This little section is definitely a dragging section if you do not get some good water. I need to get you on there and do some camping. I was surprised at the amount of spots for camping along this section.

    Very cool. You guys are gonna convince me to buy a kayak one of these days! I'm so used to canoes I just don't know... I really need to borrow one and see if I like 'em I reckon.

      Come join us on a trip sometime with the canoe, and we can put you in a kayak too.

    Good looking river and looked like a fun trip too. If you decide to get rid of that Yukon, Please let me know! I have looked everywhere for one, but yet to find one. Thanks for sharing your trip.

    • @MonkeyNAround

      I will tell you I followed the River Kings advice and made some adjustments for this trip. It really changed things for me. It is amazing how the smallest changes make the biggest adjustments in comfort. I really like the way the boat maneuvers. When I come up your way we can trade and let you test drive it on the Tug.

      We put in at 109 Access and paddled to the Access on Dennis Road. It was a nice easy paddle and there were tons of spots where camping would be easy. Definitely check it out.

    Great trip. That was a little rapid.... did you see that wave that took out Steve’s knee? It looked like it was like a 6’ wave. He survived, so I know you will. Lol.
    You had some great info in this video. I’ll have to get over that way and go kayaking with y’all sometime.

    • @MonkeyNAround

      Come on buddy. I like meeting new folks to paddle with. I am wanting to do some more trips this summer and be able to avoid the stealth camping so we can invite anyone and everyone to come along. I always say the more the merrier.

    One of my favorite spots near my home. I paddled it twice in April and water was at a good level. Have you ever noticed the old tombstones about three quarters of the way down from 109 to Dennis Rd. access on river left? I wanted to check them out last time but the bank looked to muddy and steep.

    • @MonkeyNAround
      @MonkeyNAround  5 лет назад

      This was my first time on this section of the Uwharrie. I did not notice the graves. That would be cool. I am gonna have to get back out there now. Can you email me a google pin drop? I am going back down there next month to paddle the same section.

    Always a trade off with boats-i went with my Dagger and so happy with it,i was going to get a tsunami but glad i got some rocker in hull,I think if Pete highly recommends the yukon it must be a great boat.The Question is are you comfortable in it?

    • @MonkeyNAround
      @MonkeyNAround  5 лет назад

      I love the way it handles and everything about it except for the tight cockpit. It makes it a little difficult for me to get in and out of it. It is such an amazing boat I am going to see if I can work around the cockpit size to give my knees a break and still keep the Yukon.

      What a river in North Carolina, the River Kings have not paddled. Maybe it is time for a Turtle Head Boys, River Kings, Tagayak, and Monkey N Around collaboration.
