Saturday Upper New

Bill Capp has volunteered to take over coordinating the Upper New trip for the Saturday of Gauleyfest. I had originally planned on doing it, but I have a rare opportunity to paddle with my daughter on the lower Gauley that day. Everyone needs to give Bill a big thank you for volunteering to step in ...

Buchanan to Arcadia Sunday 2/3

Our plan is to meet in Buchanan at 1:00 and still make our superbowl plans, so this will be a quick trip. All are welcome who can come w...

Friday

I'm on my way to Gauley Bridge to see if anyone is there. At that point I'll either do the LG or head over to the Cherry depending on levels. I'm driving now, so may not be able to check in for a bit.

I know where I'll be...

Bill, I will be paddling the lower Gauley with the club tomorrow, and will then head to the festival because I've got family coming in. In years past I have seen plenty of folks in both places because some are just not interested in being at the fest multiple nights. Looking forward to seeing you wh...

OCT Balcony Falls Retro paddle

Just a reminder that I will be coordinating a Balcony Falls paddle this coming Saturday - with a RETRO theme! Dig out your oldest throwback boats and gear that are still serviceable and safe. Of course, ancient gear is not required to run. I will at least be using my comfy, modern drysuit... So come...
