It's working, sort of. Dance harder. Like you really mean it!

With Guy not coming, I made a decision to cancel my hotel room.

Since so many people planned to travel this weekend, I still want to have an OCT. Right now, the options look like the New River Gorge or the Cheat / LY.

I like the way Big Mike is thinking! :twisted:
Generally, I think that if I have the opportunity to paddle, and I've got something else to do or I feel like I shouldn't go for some reason, then I force myself to go and I always have a great time. So, I guess when in doubt -- Go, Paddle. -- Tommy Hilleke

I could get into the LY or the Cheat. The Gorge would be OK too. I'm not into driving to the Ocoee.

Is anyone still planning to go to Webster Springs this weekend?

It doesn't appear that anything is running there according to AW, and the chance of rain is low.

I'm sorry I ruined Webster Springs :cry:
Envelope – Free stationary taken from the Marriott while on a business trip.
Snowflake address label – sent to me free and had to be used up.
Stained glass stamp – It was more then three feet away from me when I decided to get them so you know I didn’t see them clearly
Butterfly and Sunflower stickers on the back – Also free and required because the glue on the envelope was so old it no longer stuck.

I'm up for running the NRG. Tallulah/Cheoah will get me killed, Cheat doesn't have much water, and I don't want to drive 4+ hours just to run the LY.

If Mr. Kessmann goes to the NRG the temptation might prove irresistible. Especially if he brings his bike!

Here's another vote for the NRG. The Cheat or LY would be ok, too. Any of these would be a PFD for me. I don't get a chance to get out of town to paddle much, so I don't want to miss the opportunity. Anybody want to paddle both Friday and Saturday?

Another vote for the NRG or LY/Cheat. Tallulah and Cheoh are likely above my skill level.

I'm in for the NRG. I'll bring a bike as well but would rather paddle. I could leave tonight since I already asked to b off tomorrow.
