Gauley Fest 9/14/18 - 9/15/18
Posted: Tue Sep 04, 2018 10:22 pm
YOU MUST BE A PAID DUES COASTALS MEMBER TO PARTICIPATE ON THIS TRIP
CAMPING:
This trip will be based out of the Rays Campground (https://rayscampground.com/)
BOATING:
LOWER GAULEY FRIDAY:
This trip is typically coordinated by Dave K , but this year I will be trying to fill his shoes
First timers with qualified resumes are welcome. If interested, contact me at sejalms@hotmail.com
This trip in the past has been quite successful with a mix of veterans and first timers
Let’s figure on meeting in the parking lot of the former Food Land in Gauley Bridge at 11:30 on Friday morning. The GPS coordinates are 38.159262, -81.188911. Food Land is on Rt. 60 on the left just before you get to the intersection of 60 and 39 in Gauley Bridge. It was a good sized grocery store. You won’t miss it. It is NOT the Food Land near the intersection of 19 and 60. Make sure you are at the right one. If you’re not in Gauley Bridge, you are at the wrong Food Land.
NEW RIVER GORGE SATURDAY:
We are meeting at Rays campground at 9am Saturday to run the New River Gorge. I am hoping one of the Veterans will help me coordinate this day as I will be on the Upper Gauley with a small group of Veterans.
If you are able to coordinate the New Gorge please contact me A.S.A.P.
If it is your first time, contact me (sejalms@hotmail.com) so we can make sure this is the trip for you. Veterans are welcome to just show up but DO NOT be late.
This trip is also quite large and has only been successful in the past because we have split up in to smaller groups. If you are interested in leading or safety boating for a few folks, your help would be greatly appreciated.
Another key factor to this trip’s success is having a concurrent trip on the Upper New (Thurmond to Cunard) so we can work out the PRO shuttle. Stephen Weigangt is coordinating this section
If you are interested in doing this Upper New trip Saturday please contact him directly swiegandt@gmail.com.
Look forward to seeing every one and paddling with you
