LOWER GAULEY FRIDAY:
I’m running the Lower Gauley the Friday of Gauley Fest. First timers with qualified resumes are welcome. If interested, contact me at dave dot kessmann at fgwa (period) com.

This trip is 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.

Let’s figure on meeting in the parking lot of the Food Land in Gauley Bridge at noon on Friday. The Food Land is on Rt. 60 on the left just before you get to the intersection of 60 and 39 in Gauley Bridge. It is 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.

So uhh, what time???????

Noon

We'll be there Fri, Sat, and Sun. I might be down for an UG Sat or Sun.

Sunday would be best for me. This would be my first time kayaking the Upper. I have run it 10 times before in various inflatables. I know the lines to some degree and I know most of the 'NO NO' spots. Would you be ok with that?

Boyz and I are going to hit the middle G for a play run Sunday after the festival. Looking for people to run with.....not that that is particularly difficult on Gauleyfest weekend. I figure some of the people on the NRG run on Saturday might be up for it?

Aloha

The Fat clan (sans Noah) will be in attendance. We are also bringing a family friend new to the sport. We will be staying at burnwood, prolly getting there sometime Friday, leaving Sunday morning.

Boating plans: depending on when we arrive (and whether Kessmann decides to share the apparent super-secret meeting time), I may run the lower G Friday. Santha and the kids are considering a hike to the upper G (and I'm sure would welcome any that might be interested...) Saturday we will be rocking the corn-raft on the george.

You guys better go back and read the directions because I'm not going to be able to make it this weekend. I've asked Sejal, Wade, and Brandon to fill in.

Reading and comprehension are not their strong points. So to make sure everyone knows, I'll be collecting camping fees for folks joining us at Burnwood this year. $5 per person per night. Please bring cash and exact change is greatly appreciated. Looking forward to seeing everyone who can make it!

it was the neon orange on white motif that screwed me. thanks for pointing out the time; that's why you're the mann.

and sorry you can't make it. you will be missed.

Too bad about the weekend, Dave. Hope you're not too ANGRY!

You're invited to join me and Gromit the first weekend in October.

I have lead the UG once but I'd be more comfortable with someone who knew the lines a little better than I. My plans are still pretty open for the weekend, so let's see what happens.
