Just arrived in New Bern, NC about 15 minutes ago. 200 miles. 9 days. Man, what a cool river!
Full trip report in a few days. My thanks go out to all the sponsors, the Neuse Riverkeeper Foundation, and lovely and benevolent wife Jessica for all the help with this trip. You guys rock.
Take care,

Sounds like it was a great trip. Any thoughts of writing up a “guide” for others who want to do the whole river?
Absolutely! This river is begging for more recreational use, and everything is in place for more trips like mine. I’m playing with putting out a short 75-100 pager with the background of the trip, issues, my journals, and a hefty appendix that’d be used as a planning guide. Resupply, mileage chart, tips, and that sort of thing.
Glad to see you made it home safely.
I can’t wait for the full trip report.

Working on it now. I’ll be posting journals, videos, and whatnot over the next few weeks.
