Mangles Proposal Lower Gauley Trip October 13

Mangles Proposal Lower Gauley Trip October 13
“Return to the Scene of the Crime”
Formally known as the Lower Gauley First Timers Trip

Giggles and I will be coordinating a trip on the Lower Gauley Oct 13
We are planning on staying and meeting at Rays Campground.
http://www.rayscampground.com/

The plan is to meet at Ray's Campground at 10:30am to set shuttle and Put On at Woods Ferry for part of the Middle and then the Lower.
Lower Gauley

Middle Gauley
http://www.americanwhitewater.org/conte ... l/id/3128/

We are currently planning on going up Friday Night.

This trip was started as a first timers trip and we hope to continue in that tradition.
If you are a first timer and are interested, please contact one of us first (contact info at the end), please don't just show up.

We have already had some interest from some first timers and to be able to accommodate
them and any more, we need some LG Veterans to join us also.
So if you feel comfortable on the LG and would like to help a “new to the LG” paddler, please let us know also.
We would like to make this as safe a trip as possible and will have to limit the number of
first timers if we don’t have enough veterans. Thanks for your help!

Also, this being the Anniversary of the Mangles Proposal, we’re encouraging any
Paddling couples that would like to take the next step to join us for this trip. We
didn’t have any last year, but we are still hopeful that we will have some this year. :wink:

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!

I would like to join you. I would be a second-timer on the river and in marriage (already tied the knot). But looking for someone to show me the lines (on the river and in the marriage).

See you there. I you could please send me a cell number so I can call if needed. I will be spending Friday and Sat night at in laws in Lewisburg WVA.

We weren't planning on going, but the WV Wildwater Association kept calling and begging us to come. They claim it will bring a new found glory to the river and save the local economy.

Hey...if getting pitted while shredding the sic gnar for WV folk will help them out..R.D.T. is happy to help. Not only do we shred rivers, we shred poverty!

Stay in school!

Looks like I'll be there, barring any further epic plumbing problems around the house. See you all Saturday morning :-P

I am driving up Saturday morning from Richmond and will be returning Sunday if anyone wants a ride. Plan to take my small car but can take the truck if needed.
