It is just a month a way so start your planning!
I am hoping to do a Lower Yough loop run on friday 18th for a warmup. Staying at a friends friday now in Lost Creek.
Head over to festival sight saturday morning early to hook up with the motly crew!!!
Lower Gauley run with Dooley on saturday.
Who knows on the sunday (depends on the party) but would love to do the New River Gorge.
Maybe Lower Yough on the monday.

Colin,
Don't rule out the upper gauley on sunday if you have a good run on the lower. There will be a lot of canoers there that weekend. Should be fun. I'm looking forward to it.

I should be living up there for Gauley. Hopefully working on the weekend, but free to play during the week. Haven't been on the New in a several years and would love to join you for that if I can Colin.

Upper Y on Friday with Princess Leia? Maybe Gumpy and Tony to join, as well?
Lower Gauley on Saturday with PAC's TOG tribe?
Party hearty Saturday night. Crash & burn. Sunday a.m. decide what to do if I wake up with/without out a tremendous hangover.

hey big al, i'll be doing upper y with jim michaud friday. i think most of the group from fallsfest was interested, so we'll see each other out there? don't know if i should invite others on jim's trip, as i was invited to be shown down first time, but i'd assume we'll all see each other anyhow. might i be the youngest boater of the group?

UY sounds like a plan for Friday. I'll be driving down with Ginger for for Gauley Fest running the Upper for sure, maybe the Lower?

I'm looking at some family time issues that friday and Sat. AM. Might have to come down Sat night and then.... well run whatever!! If I bring the boy I might be up for an UG shredder run.

Leah and Ginger will be there for sure pending no issues at the border.
I think Big Al as well.
I will NOT be there as it is way above my level ... maybe 2010 for me.
See you all at the campground friday night. as Joe says just look for the big blue thing covered in stickers.
Bring locks for your boat and gear as you park in a huge field.
I Guess we'll be there

It looks like St. Pete and I will be there for Friday through Sunday. Sunday might be the New instead of the UG, but we're flexible.
I have only done the UY about 100 times, so I might need somebody to lead me down.
Are camping arrangements the same as last year? Near the airport, big spot, lots of Canucks?

I'm trying to re-schedule things to get off Friday for an UY run and then head down Firday to the Fest but it does not look promising.
Someone might need to reserve a site (
http://www.mountainlakecampground.com/) since I didn't do that this year. Or camp at the Fest.

Don't forget about the Animal race on the Upper Gauley Monday. Perhaps a low water run down the upper on Tuesday?
