O.C.T. July 20 Maury below Goshen Pass moving to this Sat.
Posted: Thu Jun 13, 2013 7:49 pm
Edit Sat. a.m. for clarity: Please don't just show up for this one. It will take some coordinating. Water levels took an unexpected sudden drop yesterday. I have an email loop going with folks who expressed an interest. Please read the whole thread.
We are talking about the section from Indian Pools to wherever. I won't be in town on 7/20 as noted in an earlier post.
As usual water levels matter but I'm hoping for good ones for Saturday.
The thought here is to completely complicate Alicia's weekend

by throwing in extra variables ... , er, not really, it rather seems like a nice opportunity to host folks who might like to step things up a bit from the section below Rockbridge Baths.
With good flows (which I expect) I view the section below Rockbridge Baths as class II which tries to get to class III but doesn't quite get there. The section below Indian Pool gets there. You can run-and-gun it, maybe, but catching eddies here and there gets more important (and a lot more fun). There aren't any major drops nor horrible hazards but some rapids are quite long and involve a good bit of maneuvering. Again at ordinary flows, there are holes which deserve respect in terms of getting flipped but which aren't particularly retentive of people.
==========================
We'll need to figure out the timing. Think mid-afternoon at Indian Pool. The thought is that I'll help out on Alicia's trip through the Pass and then pick up anyone interested in joining us below Indian Pool. Probably around 2:30 p.m. [Sat. a.m. edit: Wherever we end up 2:30 is not the meeting time, rather, the time we expect to be ready to put in. Please don't just show up for this one.]
Please don't just show up for this one. It will take some coordinating.
Post here or send me a message through this board if interested.
Cheers,
