It's Memorial Day weekend. Thank you to all Vets and the men and women currently in uniform from Big Creek Expeditions, Inc. 

Here on the Pigeon River in the Smoky Mountains, we now have Saturday as a scheduled water release day along with Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. We are all looking forward to the busy days ahead.

Also, we now have a 16' raft just out of the box! We can take groups of 8 or even 9 and let them all ride in the same raft. Here is a picture of her maiden voyage.  Lucky Nate had the first opportunity.

 Spring is here! The forest is in full bloom. The lake is full with a steady flow coming in. Time for some whitewater rafting in the Great Smoky Mountains. We have been scattered all winter, but the Big Creek tribe is gathering again. Old friends share new stories around the fire. We have some new faces among us this season. Even a few trainees this year. Happy to have them. They bring a fresh perspective and their eagerness to learn is contagious. They remind us old school guides why we love river life-It's just plain fun.

Ebb and flow.

Nate
