Coastals

Hey all, I am going to bail. The weather and other needs have stacked up against the 5-6 hours drive

Is there a group forming for 6/21? Don’t see any posts here thus far. Considering coming out, but not sure if it’s “a go”.

The Vonesh-Balcomb family unit (James, Sophia, daughter Asha 13) is in negotiations about whether we can make this happen. I think we are most interested in running the *upper* in our 13 ft raft-probably as an oar boat, as it’s a lot of raft for the 3 of us to paddle raft. But if others are looking ...

I’m interested. Haven’t done the bottom. Have some scheduling to sort, but think I can make it

Thanks,Allen, not sure if we’ve paddled before or not. I kinda think we did Maury below the post office together on a Coastals trip last spring, but could be wrong. That trip I was paddling Jenny’s old purple Outrage for the first time. I’m set for gear and this is well in my wheelhouse (OC1 III+, K...

I am interest in this trip and watching the thread. I've not canoed this section - just section above 64 but below Rockbridge Baths. How long is it? Do folks ever link it up with the balcony section of the James (another section I have, surprisingly, not yet run). James Vonesh

Can't make AM club LJ run. Anyone interested in a lap or two after 2:30pm today?

Friends, sadly the situation on the home front has changed and I will not be able to join you

Very disappointed to miss this opportunity - but it cant be helped. Have a great day on the river.

Planning to be there too, going to make it a day trip with Luv2paddle. Should get up there before 10. We ran 3 laps last Sept release, looking fwd to it! Paul Hi Paul - also thinking I might need to day trip. Have space for another body/boat? No worries if you're full - just checking -and I'll driv...

Looking forward to this run. Just renewed my membership. Is there other family stuff to do in the area? Wondering if it is worth bringing family up. Does Craig's Campground have web page? Is this the place? http://www.reserveamerica.com/camping/robert-w-craig/r/campgroundDetails.do?contractCode=NRSO...

I can bring a 12 inch Dutch Oven if needed. I'll plan to bring it. I am not sure of my way around, but I think I can drop in SAT am on way to put in.

A great weekend with pfds of Lower and Upper G. Paddled with new friends on Lower Friday and Saturday. I was struck by the incredible beauty of the river, especially Canyon Doors area. Wow. Sunday was with Sejal's crew on Upper. She led me down clean lines and her veterans inspired confidence. Pillo...

Hi Ken -

Thanks for the reply - just to follow up I spoke with New & Gauley River Adventures, Rivermen, and ACE and none of them will rent you a raft for self guided trips. They said they didn't know anyone who did. So you are right, seems its not quite the same as up at the Yough.

New River Rendezvous folks - I am exploring options for coming up from RVA with the family to join in the fun. First, based on Ed's cheat sheet that Barb shared and Ken's comments - a "glades" run on Monday would be a good fit for us. How about Saturday or Sunday? Is anyone thinking of run...

Tomorrow the Footprints class wraps up with a service day in the James River park. Its been a great class - we all learned a ton and paddled the James from Lynchburg to below Hopewell in sea kayaks, canoes, rafts, and a batteau.
