A 10 mile paddling trip w/ rapids??? Your upper body must be ripped! I tried a 10 minute paddle up at Cape Cod and got sucked out to sea...it was classic!

These rivers up in GA are a far cry from the slow moving ones I used to canoe down in FL. They drop you off 8 miles North and you just float downstream, pull off to the side when you wanna drink your beers, and then follow the big signs to the dock where you parked. Don't think it works that way with kayaking. It's more of an extreme sport, right?

While vacationing in Elijay, my hubby thought it'd be funny to take our blowup raft and ride over this little set of falls that all the kayakers were getting out & walking around. Well he got sucked over backwards and the huge tree branch that the kayakers knew was submerged SMASHED him in the chest and sent him swirling down river. I have it on video...also classic!

Have fun though, should be a hott one!
