Monday I would love to paddle the Glade Creek section of the New. It's fun!

Gromit and I are going out Friday. Looking to boat Friday, Sat & Sun on the gorge. Anyone else coming Friday so we can shuttle? Noonish maybe a little earlier would be best I think.

Want to a pot luck, cook your own meat and bring a side dish to share?

Any of the folks paddling the gorge on Saturday willing to show a first timer the lines?

I don't expect to have any significant issues, I have a solid roll and I've paddled with a number of folks on the trip at some point in the past.

I'm a Richmond paddler, I've run the LJ up to ~9.0 on the main lines and cemetery/southside up to 10.5. I've also got runs on goshen (thanks Alicia!) the savage, lower yough, and some others.

I plan to arrive Friday evening. Paddle Sat and Sun only. Eating in on Sat sounds good. I like John and Linda's pot-luck plan. I'll bring something to share. Dee

Lee and I will be there the whole weekend. Planning to bring food for Saturday nite - food, plates, etc for us and food to share. If someone is hoping to grill, they should arrange with Ray to get the grill - and bring everything they need to grill (charcoal, utensils, etc).

Sounds good! We'll be in late Friday, so I'll see most folks Sat morning.

Making some veg white chili, plenty to share.
