Mangles Proposal Lower Gauley Trip October 11 (& 12)
“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 11
We are planning on staying and meeting at Rays Campground.
http://www.rayscampground.com/

The plan is to meet at Ray's Campground at 10:00am to set shuttle and Put On at Woods Ferry for part of the Middle and then the Lower.

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 (almost though… Wink ), but we are still hopeful that we will have some this year.

We will also run something (NRG or some natural flow) on Sunday the 12th.

How about a second-timer? Had my Lower Gauley PFD over fest weekend and can't wait to get back there!

2nd timer here as well bringing 3 first timers, but they will be in a commercial raft if I can line one up. I'd like to experience Lower Mash in my Cataraft this time instead of under Mango's cat tubes!

I'd like to go if there is a seat on a raft for my son Brian, who many of you know. We'd like to go through the Gorge on Sunday too. It would be my 4th time down the LG.

If there is still room for first timers, I would like to join. Sejal and I already discussed the trip. Thanks.

Room for 2 more LG first timers? My brother-in-law and I are camping at Battle Run and would love to get in a LG run Saturday. Probably heading to the NRG on Sunday.
