Exploring the James With Phil

Phil Riggan of the blog RichmondOnTheJames has a couple posts that both focus on (go figure) the James River. The first post which is on his blog takes a look at Pipeline Rapids with some great pictures.

I think the Pipeline Rapids walkway is the downtown Richmond’s best kept secret. It’s been open to the public for almost five years, but seemingly few take advantage of it. Unless you go when there is an event like Dominion Riverrock on Brown’s Island or a paddling event, it’s often just you and the raging James River in a setting mixing the wild and natural river and the urban landscape of the bustling city.

The second post is on Richmond.com and is all about exploring the river using GPS. The journey was spurred by the discovery that several geocaches were located on islands in the river and only accessible by water.
