We Now Have A Trip Leader For The Upper New River Gorge (Thurmond to Cunard), Gauleyfest Saturday 9/17.
He is Chris Dobroth and can be reached by:
e-mail dobrothcw@hotmail.com
phone 804-513-8203
Let him know if you would like to join this trip on the Upper New River Gorge (Thurmond to Cunard) the Saturday of Gauleyfest.
And because of the PRO Shuttle, you will be off the river in time to go to Gauleyfest.
This will be in conjunction with the Lower New River Gorge Trip led by KessmanN. We will all meet at the
Burnwood Campground the morning of Sat Sept 17th, usually, ready to pull out at 10am, but that will be
determined and posted later. Burnwood is across from the Visitors Center.
Any additional questions, you can contact me (Wade) at: fwk@kinkerpress.com

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming....WOW What a ride! . . . . . Trying to live up to this, Priceless. As long as you have good insurance!
Just wanted to make sure everyone knew that this was:
Upper New River Gorge
9/17 (Saturday)

Happy daze,

Still haven't heard from anyone so I thought I'd say hi, at least bump this back to the top.
This should be a good level for the Upper New, a little extra water makes the pools go by quicker It's a Class II+ run with one Class III drop that's easy to sneak by.
We've got at least 5 boaters with us, some new some more seasoned and looking forward to the trip. We won't be camping this year but I'll be by to say hi Friday night.
i would like to paddle the upper new with you guys on sat, my girlfriend paddles a rec boat and doesn't have a prob in class 2, she would like to paddle also, i also have a friend that is not a member and would like to come as long as that is not a problem. we will be camping at the fest and i am not too familiar with the area so any help with directions would be great. look forward to paddling with all of you.
Looks we've got a good group forming up. Weather should be a little cool and clear this weekend. Which is good, for some reason I don't like paddling in the rain...
