Sorry. I'll eat breakfast there, but not dinner. Here is a link to a map that I put together with food locations within a 30+ min drive of the park. Google map It looks like there is a good pizza place in Haysi that I may try out on Friday night. It looks like the Autumn Festival for Haysi was last ...

Come join us at the Russell Fork. Class III and guaranteed release. Yes, its a long drive, but its beautiful.

I am planning to be at the campground Friday night. I'll likely get there late afternoon. Maybe 5 pm to 6 pm. Anybody know if the campground is still first come first served? In the past you simply "reserved" a campsite and selected the one that you wanted when you got there. Or just got o...

I'm going to try to be there, John. Hope Linda comes along.

I'm going to try to get there. Its been too long since I've been on the water and I need a fix. Balcony is probably just about my speed right now.

By the way, its been at least 2 years since I've done Balcony. What takeout are we going to use? The boat ramp?

There is good news from the Corps of Engineers. See this ! They are going to release approximately 250 cfs all this week then up it to the usual 1000 cfs on Saturday. Yes, I said 1000 cfs. If you know anything about the Russell Fork, you have probably heard the gripes and complaints that the Corps i...

I'll be there also. :lol: After more than 20 years of my efforts in the kitchen, I think it is time for a break also. This year, the meal will not have as many dutch ovens as I have done in the past because I won't have Mark able to manage the cooking for me. It will be a reduced menu from my perspe...

I'm planning to be there and bringing the shredder. Since we are meeting at noon, I'll get there on Saturday AM. Let me know if the meet time changes. John, I think you've probably got either Mark's or my cell #. I will not have my smart phone, so a response via email won't reach me, but a call or a...

Put me down as a tentative. If I can get my planning done for the Fall Meeting during the week, then I can go to the RF that weekend.

Bump.

Fantastic! Sounds like we've got a group of people to paddle this weekend. I'm looking forward to this. Weather is looking like scattered thunderstorms / showers for Saturday, Sunday and Monday, so we will have some water from the sky. I've sent both Scott and Dave messages with my phone number. Ple...

Mark and I are headed to Smoky Mountain Meadows Campground outside of Bryson City, NC for Labor Day weekend. We are meeting a friend there to visit, paddle, and bike and are planning to get there on Friday thru Monday. Anyone interested in joining us? I realize that it is a long trip for most Coasta...

Nice pics, Ken! Wish I could have taken the Shredder on the Cranberry. . . . . .

This past Saturday was the Kibler Valley River Race on the Dan river near Claudville, VA. Terri Bsullak, Becky Barlow, and I drove down and had a wonderful time on the river. This was Terri's first time to Kibler, so she just had to make two runs - both of them clean. I wasn't so lucky as Public Ene...

I am aiming to be at the campground on Sat AM. If I come in on Sat AM, I probably won't make it to the meeting at 8 am, but will get there between 9 and 10 am. With all the water in WV this week, it is a rare opportunity for those of us who don't paddle in the winter to hit some whitewater in centra...
