Broad River - Alston to Harbison

Paddled the Broad yesterday from Peak (Alston Rd landing) to Harbison State Forest.  8:30am - 3:30pm

About 2,200 CFS on the Alston gauge (http://waterdata.usgs.gov/sc/nwis/uv/?site_no=02161000&PARAmeter_cd=00065,00060,00062 )  This was a good level - enough water to slide over almost all the rocks and the take out at Harbison was manageable.

SC Trails (http://sctrails.net/trails/ALLTRAILS/WaterTrails/BroadRiverCanoe.html ) said it was about 17 miles (from the 213 bridge put in) - our GPS registered 15.2, including all the zigging and zagging that goes with a trip.
