LRC Upper 2/Chairlift (Little River Canyon Alabama)

The cave that wasn't. After paddling the "Teddy Bear" we headed down the chairlift section. The cave @4:08 wasn't there. The water was above the cave. We had to sneak down the left side of the river to Bottle Neck, Big Water. At Bottle Neck the rocks were covered and there was a tongue of water going right down the middle of the river, into the pool below. I pealed out and went down the tongue, and when I got to the pool, there was some water reversal. When I hit that, my kayak went to the bottom. It was dark. I floated up a ways downstream. When we turned left just below Johnnys Creek the large greyhound bus size rock was under water. We took out at CMP. Paddled right up to the road. But a great day paddling. Only took about 22 min from the chairlift put in to the take out. Quickest trip ever.

I would have have never thought Nirvana and I have one. I was thinking new Antix 2.0. You’ll love that yak. It loves to crush holes!

[@SouthernYak]

In the last few weeks, the nirvana has proven to be a very stable and sporty kayak! The more I get it up on edge the more it loves to snap into eddys. Thus far I've concluded it is the funnest creek boat I've ever paddled- I'm loving it!

Beautiful in there! Looks like the new boat is suiting you!

[@SouthernYak]

It was a truly beautiful river! I’d say you have to come check it out but that’s a super far drive for you. 😁 I’m loving the nirvana. If I included all the footage of all the micro eddys I hopped into this video easily would have been 30 minutes long hahaha. Super fun boat.
