That was a nice day for paddling, I'm glad you were able to take advantage of it and get out on the water. Did you see many people? The Shenandoah river is a great run that I did this past spring for the first time and is the VA version of the Saco river in NH/ME. VA likes to go back and forth between Winter and Fall every few weeks so the spring paddling starts up a lot sooner down here, too. I'm not too far from you near Fredericksburg and was hoping the Rappahanock River was up to 3 feet, but it was still too low to run.
Oh, and don't forget John Denver. The Shenandoah gets direct mention in "Country Roads."
