After about 6.5 hours on the Nolichucky, the intrepid river travelers come into view, about to run the last rapid of the trip, which ended at our campground.
Lena is the first of our group to arrive at the final challenge and negotiates it successfully.
Bob is next to arrive, and expertly navigates the final class-3 rapid.
Milton arrives next and glides in with ease and without incident.
Ed is the last of our group reach the end. He takes a somewhat unusual approach to the last rapid, because he spotted one last rock that he hadn't hit yet.
Everyone has made it down the river safely and it's now time to haul the FunYaks out of the water and up the bank to be loaded on the van.
Cherokee Adventures loads the FunYaks on top of the van and hauls them back to base.
