electric?

you taking a hair dryer?

[gumpy]

maybe a beard dryer! actually i may need to recharge pump battery depending on how much hole playing i do.

Riversport/Paddler's Lane campground now has a very nice bath house with copious hot water. There are a couple of 110 outlets on the porch that work for recharging batteries. No electric out in the field, though. Class 1 playhole and eddy hopping right in camp, but lots of train noise and heavy dew most nights. If I come up, that's where I usually stay. State park is the only other campground I have experience with. It's decent, but I'll put up with the trains for the lower price and ability to enjoy a beer in public, especially now that Bernie/Robin built that new bath house.

New bath house eh! I knew they had made some improvements so I'm assuming here then that a change in status to "nice" is in order now. Having a play hole next the site is a plus not to mention find eats near by!

The trains are not all that bad - I'd just bring ear plugs with me! Besides its a LOT quiter than Gauley Fest site camping!

Shawn hope to see ya then this weekend. Should be moving both the Atoms this Friday. Paul C.

I just reserved a slot for Sunday 10am as well. 3 launch slots left then - gonna be crowded...

I'll be in a silver Mazda5 with a red Probe up top and probably a Cannondale mountain bike.

Who is paddling Saturday, and what time?

[Jim P]

Sat - 11-12 As Not Elvis would say, I'll be "takin a Seat". White Taco truck w/ladder rack.

Wish I cld join u guys this weekend.

Another campsite, of a sort, that I've utilized periodically (tho PAC d/n approve) is in front of the O'pyle post Office. It's quiet and no one bothers u. U can use the chnagehouse bathrooms nearby to drain all the bear u've drunk the night before.

Only slots left for Saturday at this point are 8 am and 1 or 2 pm.

Anybody have an extra permit or want to paddle late on Sat?

[PAC]

How late is late on Sat? I have youth field day on Sat (taking kids out into a big field to have fun with insects, critters, bows, flintlocks, shotguns and the like - sort of a outdoor netindo on steroids ). I might be able to get out after 7ish. I belive you have my cell!

As for the PO - If they hire Barney Fife back you'll be hat'n that!

[ohioboater]

I'd prefer to do the whole river, so by 'late' I was thinking either the 1:00 or 2:00 launch, or just buy a shuttle token and then put on after 3 when they stop requiring permits.

[ohioboater]

Since permits were running low, I snagged a 1:00 launch time for Saturday. I'm ok with going at a different time if need be. I realize one is never really alone on a summer weekend on the LY, but it'd be nice to have some C-ompany.

[TonyB]

so I paniced when I saw only one site open at the park for the three nites and I took it. showing up late friday, got 8-9 permits for sat and 11 for sunday, Me, gumpy and wndwlkr.
