Well, Easter is coming up quick, and we (so far 4 of us for sure, 2 singlew bladers and 2 yakkers, with 3 maybes) are again planning on paddling 4 days (April 6 to April 9) in West Virginia and surrounding area. Not sure yet what we'r e going to run, it will depend on levels. We're thinking of paddling on Friday and Monday somewherein Northern WV or PA/ MD, maybe Upper Yough, Big Sandy, Cheat Canyon, things like that, and to paddle something a bit further South, near Fayetteville, like the Gauley, New, Middle Meadow or so. If anyone is interested in Joijning us for a day or so (JFD, PAC, Billcanoes, e.t.c.) send me an e-mail or a PM.
Cheers!

PS: Yes, Martin Du Toit from Shaggy Designs is going to join us again, and he will have a Pagan proto with him

you've picked a good time to come to WV. Red Creek, Decker's, and the North Fork of the Blackwater have been running off and on, Blackwater, Sandy, Cheat, and Yough have all been at big flow now continuously for several weeks and should hold until mid-April at least. Give me a shout when you get here. I have to work evening shifts that weekend, but could do some quick local stuff early in the day.

Jay, I will call you. I sure hope the water levels will hold!
Paul, right now the plan is to leave Thursday night, paddle something in the Morgantown/ Yogh area on Friday, go further South for Saturday and Sunday and then paddle something again in the Morgantown/ Yough area on the way back on Monday. We would definitely be interested in runnning something near your shack there, as far as I rememebr from driving around in the area there is definitely some interesting stuff around there! I'll send you a PM later on this week.
Bill, sorry, but we can't make it the week before
don't have the time off, and I am racing in the Credit downriver drace on Saturday.
Cheers!
