Dropping nearly 180 feet per mile and chock full of sieves, you might be forgiven for not having paddled Andria&#8217;s backyard run. After all, there are plenty of challenging, more remote rivers throughout the Blue Ridge Mountains.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI honestly didn&#8217;t like the Rocky Broad the first 20 times I ran it probably, because it scared me\u2026 But, you know, my boating skills caught up to it, and eventually just started to love it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A free-flowing river, the Rocky Broad depends on rain and snow and its dynamic nature continues to teach even the most local kayakers, like Andria, new things.<\/p>\n<p>This is Andria Davis and the Rocky Broad is her Home Run.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Editor\u2019s Note:<\/strong> Check out<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nrs.com\/river-gypsies-guide-to-north-america-book\/p9zl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u00a0River Gypsies Guide to North America<\/a>.
