Took Casey, Parker and Jonathon kayaking today down the Dan River. Parker and Jonathon were 1st timers and did well although Parker went down several rapids backwards. Parker raced me several times and he is pretty fast paddler too. I was worried the water would be too low it was 1.4 all week but rained the night before and that morning it was a 1.67 ft at the river gauge at the Fransisco bridge. This made the water just fine on the section from Lynchburg rd to Hanging Rock Access. (Very little parking at the bridge.) This section is good for beginners. It takes about 2 hours and it is about 6 miles.
Fun memory: The way to float a rapid is to lay striaght as a board, cross your feet, cross your arms. Casey, Parker, Jonathon and I floated through a rapid in our life jackets. Fun Day.
