Trip Reports

Violettes Loop - 3.9 ft - 30 May
Author Last Post
     A beautiful, sunny day - temps in 70s.  Crossed to the Virginia side to find five young kayakers from Calleva surfing just below the lip of Dam #2.  - We were eight:  TL: Wayne, Gordy, Tim, Alan, Pam, Barb, John S, and Alf.  Had a tipover on a submerged log, then John & Alf went down to try to improve a passage through the years' long log jam below Jacuzzi.  More work possible when the level drops.   C&O Canal is at minimal level, but still passable.
   NB - at 9:00 on Sat, VL parking is almost full.  Turtle count 'way low - 2?  4?
