The Highland Rim chapter hosted a camping, hiking, and kayaking weekend at Hiwassee-Ocoee Scenic Rivers State Park in Delano, TN.
Friday we used our own kayaks and floated a portion of the Hiwassee River and had a wonderful potluck on Friday night.
Saturday started with a 3 mile hike in the Cherokee National Forest to a great waterfall and then we took "Duckies" (inflatable kayaks) down the whitewater portion of the Hiwassee. Another potluck Saturday night and then Sunday, some went home, some paddled in their own boats a calmer stretch of the Ocoee and others did the whitewater Ocoee float.
It was a wonderful weekend for all involved and many thanks to Joan Hartvigsen who put this whole thing together without a hitch!
We had people from Nashville, Tullahoma, Winchester, Murfreesboro, Chattanooga , Memphis, Gallatin and Crossville and even one as far away as Indiana on this trip.
