We should always respect where we are and the people around us. I often will change in my Honda Element in the back seat where no one can see me or my privates.

Small southern towns are usually very conservative and folks are private....and don't wish to view some stranger's privates, especially on Sunday Goo To Meeting morning.

There are a lot of tough guys in the boating scene down there. Changing under a robe instead of letting it all hang out would certainly be viewed as a sign of weakness on par with running left at National!

For anyone heading to Friendsville in the near future, it's probably best to avoid Water Street (the road on river left near the take out) altogether, and park on the main strip. Friendsville is what it is. The Upper Yough is a gem. Happy summer boating to everyone, Alden | ||

My most exciting route was hand paddling the falls - no not on purpose - but it was a hell of a surf! | ||

I expect that could be exciting in far easier places. Steve about the avatar: [ Click here for link... ] | ||

I was implying that the vultures on the rocks tend to boo left lines and that the local badasses and the raft guide goon squad generally only approve of the left line if you are in a race boat. Right at Tommy's and the Rifle Barrel @Heinzerling also can elicit scoffs from these hardcore types. It is all about doing the coolest thing you could possibly be doing at any given rapid. My beard isn't grey yet, but I've mellowed. I couldn't care less about people's line choices, or how discreet they choose to be when changing clothes. But the National boof can be pretty sweet!!!
