French Broad River Movie Progress Report
July 29, 2016.
Be sure to check out the video at the bottom of this post.
Since at the moment we four Torgs have plans to raft the entire length of the 149 miles of the French Broad River in sections, we decided to check things out by driving along the river from Asheville, North Carolina where we live to Newport, Tennessee.
This would normally be about a seventy mile drive from our house, but we lengthened it by criss crossing the French Broad as much as we could.
I wanted to get a glimpse of what is called Section 9, the wildest part of the river. We stopped at as many access sites as we could to shoot some video and so we would have a general idea of what to expect when we make it this far north. We also talked with lots of people, a few of whom you’ll see in our video below.
The plan is to make the film about the community that surrounds the French Broad, and the social and political issues that surround it. What you’re watching know is just an update on our progress. Thanks for checking it out!

What about the “Tippy?” I have heard it gets pretty wild down at Buffalo.
