Kindly Old Dr. K’s Hydrosphere

The Attainment Race will be something different this year, if water levels cooperate.  If the gage stays around its current level we will race from Carderock Picnic Area to Anglers Inn.  This is two miles of intricate, knuckle-bustin’, route-finding hell.  All flatwater you say?  Try it going upstream and I think your perception will change.  See the map below.

If the water level drops too low we will probably head upstream and race from Sandy Landing (the road access on the VA side below Wet Bottom) to S-turn.
