Coastals

We hope that folks will join us for the potluck meal after paddling.

It will start at 5 P.M. at Ray’s Campground.

Lee won't be there, so people will need to bring their own plates, cups, utensils, and a serving spoon if they have food to share.

I plan to be at the dinner and gathering.

Glad you had a good turnout, good weather and river levels.

Thank you for coordinating this.

I’m scheduled to coordinate a trip on the Balcony Falls section of the James on Saturday, August 9. Plan to meet at 11:00 a.m. at the putin to set shuttle. The putin is Locher Landing at Jarvis Trail, Glasgow. This is a trip for Novice level and up. Respond here or call/email if you plan to join us....

Only one person said they would definitely plan to paddle the Upper New, and several maybe's have emailed me that they can't come, so the Upper New trip is cancelled. For safety, we would need several more in the group. I suspect that the weather forecast has affected some people's plans, which is u...

This trip is cancelled. See my recent post below. Wade"s and Sejal's trip is still on. They have a good sized group. I’m coordinating the intermediate trips on the Upper New for the summer gathering. I’m planning to camp at Ray’s Campground and arrive early Friday evening. If you’re staying in...

When we put on sometime between 11:30 and noon, the Piney was at 225 CFS and 3.35 feet and the Tye at 363 and 4.3. This was a fun level with lots of play features and eddies and drops to practice basic creek moves. Quite a few good surfs and some 360 holes as well. The weather was great. We had a go...

Saturday’s trip is a coordinator’s choice. May’s dry start hasn’t given me much in the way of choices. Several have said they would like to run Balcony, so we'll meet at Locher Landing at 11 am. Balcony is at 1660 CFS and 3.53 ft which is higher than the March 29 Coastals trip level (1330 CFS & ...

Anyone who replied to this trip on the Forum is welcome to join the Rockbridge Baths trip, meeting at 11 at the Post Office.

The level is holding at 323 CFS at Rockbridge Baths, so I'm planning to run the Maury.

See folks at RB by 11:00

I’m planning to run Rockbridge Baths to Copper Road. The low water back-up will be the Balcony Falls section of the James. Check back Friday for confirmation. Meet at 11:00 a.m. at the putin to set shuttle. Putin is Rockbridge Baths Post Office for the Maury; Locher Landing at Jarvis Trail, Glasgow,...

Alicia,

I plan to be there.

Thanks for organizing.

Looks as if we'll have a good group. The water level looks good as well.

See everyone at 11 AM at the Rockbridge Baths Post Office (but not in the P.O. parking spots).
