It's gonna be GORGEous!

I've given up on WOR again this year. Instead, Gromit and I are gonna go up to the New River Gorge on Saturday 6/30 and Sunday 7/1. Come and join us!

If you're comfy and confident, then just show up. If you're wondering whether or not you're up to it, then email or PM.

We'll drive up Saturday morning. Plan to meet at the Visitor's Center at noon Saturday to set shuttle. We'll stay at Ray's Saturday night after paddling. Then meet at the visitor's center again at 10 Sunday morning for another go on the gorge before heading home.

I've gotten several emails about the trip. Thanks! Here's a LINK to the AW page for the Gorge. You can check the gage and descriptions of the rapids. Enjoy.

With such an awesome play on words I might have to get in this one(water level dependent)!

The response has been positive, tho on the down low. I'll start selling people out closer to the day. For now we have about a half dozen who are in.

July 1, Sunday, is the Savage release. May be the reason for the down low..... I know I am trying to get to there myself.

Gromit and I encourage the notion of GORGEous Saturday and Savage Sunday. But don't relish the drive ourselves. I know some people who are going to be at the Savage on Sunday, but will probably be on the Upper Yough on Saturday. Pick your poison. It's all good.

Lots of talk about this trip tonight at Legends after the LJ paddle. Sounds like there is lots of interest and some might do the NRG on Saturday and then head to the Savage for Sunday. See you all there.

bump Bump BUMP!

You may have heard of my recent injury. While I probably can't paddle with stitches in my hand, I can sit in a raft. Thankfully Mangles will be pushing rubber. So the trip is still on! Gromit will be kayaking, among others, so don't despair.

So it's time to sell some people out. Right now I'm expecting to have 5 kayakers: Gromit, Giggles, Scooter, Land Beaver(?) and AirborneBuff. Wade and I will be rafting along with 2 others and Leigh(?). If you're on this list and you aren't coming please let me know. If you're not on this list and ARE coming and want to join us, please post up here. See yous out there!!!

I was really hoping to join you guys ..... I was working out the details, but now I find out I'm getting a surprise visit from my bother and his family this weekend.

Me very upsets!

You guys have fun and be safe!!!
