Eastland Rd to Caney Fork

Once again , in a time long long ago the rapid was named Buying the Farm, it was first run by Mark Cumnock and Brian Collins when the Tellico was at 4 ft.

This is the cool one, no doubt about it. First lets get the safety part over with, you can ferry to the island in the middle of the run and start your portage down the streambed, or run Shallow Falls to get to the little island in the middle of the stream. Its MUCH easier to do this than to use the hiking trail. UGH...the trail is a lot of work. Another site tells you to portage on river right. Trust us the island is much much easier.

Buying the Farm is a true Class V. First see if it has any brush in it, its bad to collect the little stuff that can kill you. The line is to run the top lip, keeping your nose high. Then lean back and take the licks. It's a 20 ft cascade
