OCT - Big Sandy/Cheat Canyon 5-19/20

Post by NeatoMan »

I'm starting to gather interest for the club trip May 19/20. This is a joint Keelhaulers/Coastals trip. I will be in Cleveland beginning tomorrow (Thur 5/10) and will drive down to the sandy from there. Please send me an e-mail if interested so i can gather all the info while in cleveland.

Main objective is the lower big sandy with the cheat canyon as backup. If turnout is big and there is enough interest (and good levels) we may split this trip into a big sandy group and a cheat canyon group as we did last year. Options in case of too much water include the top yough, middle fork/tygart, or other rivers depending on group capabilities and levels.

Camping at teeters campground and using glenn miller shuttle. more info to follow.

Count me in.
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.

C'mon Shaggy, time to work your magic!

right now the sandy and the cheat are very low. There is rain predicted for the middle of the week. It might be enough to bring the cheat up to runnable levels. Wait and see.

jer, there is an impromptu UY trip this friday, just posted on the keelhaulers site.

Prayer For Rain
by Edward Kemeys

The Indian paused by the hills' wild crest
Where the hemlocks throw their shade,
He looked o'er the land where the burning west
A river of flame had made.

The suffering Earth was parched and dry
Neath the fierce Sun's molten glare,
For drought had drained rivers afar and nigh
And a thirst was everywhere.

Then lo! as the Medicine-Man on high
His arms upraised in prayer
Forth came two beasts from the river bed dry
And pausing, they joined him there.

The first was a panter, cruel and grim
The other was a wild deer shy;
And they raised a prayer for rain with him
To the Manitou on high.
