A Big Trip Down The French Broad
Sorry I haven’t posted anything recently, but I’ve been planning and preparing for a big trip. Plus, it was Labor Day weekend.
Tomorrow, I will embark on 219-mile journey from the headwaters of the French Broad River, near Rosman, NC, to its confluence with the Tennessee River in Knoxville, TN. I am accompanying Hartwell Carson, Riverkeeper for the non-profit group RiverLink, to document his adventure. I will write a newspaper or magazine article when I return, as well as an authoritative guide to paddling the French Broad River.
Carson works hard to raise awareness about environmental issues facing the French Broad, so I’m excited to see him at work. He’s also a helluva guy, so I’m stoked to canoe with him for the next 16 days.

I’ll be back here to blog again on Sept. 22.
