George's North Carolina River Badge Drop

North Carolina has range. The Lumber runs 115 miles of blackwater, the only blackwater river in the state with National Wild and Scenic designation, and Princess Ann, Chalk Banks and Wire Pasture all put you on it. East, the Roanoke River State Trail became the state's first fully designated state trail: fifteen accesses along roughly 215 miles. Mountains? 26.5 miles of New River and paddle-in campsites. Law says every kid under thirteen wears the life jacket. Yours stays serviceable. The lineup is three tees, a muscle tank, a crop tee, and three full-color caps. Paddle On. Only You Can Keep The Rivers Clean. — George
