Trip Reports

VA Catoctin Creek - Nov 8, 2018
Wayne McDaniel

Seven paddlers - Barb B, Gary & Ginny Q, Gus A (PFD), Rich C (PFD), Vitas (PFD), and Wayne McD - braved the February weather and were rewarded with a beautiful sunny day, high in the upper 50s. It was good to see Gus on the river again following his convalescence from hip surgery. Water level was an excellent 334 cfs and no carnage to report. In addition to the customary wildlife a fat beaver was spotted scrambling down the bank and diving into the creek, not to be seen again. After a series of three Class IIs the whitewater came to an abrupt end as we encountered backwash from the mighty Po.
