The wife and I are planning on heading up next weekend and paddle the Lower Yough with Bill?s group. But if they get some rain we might run the Cheat Canyon on Saturday. It would be great to meet/see some of you folks.

I may go up, going to upstate NY this weekend and was hoping to catch Moosefest but the water looks a little low. If I don't go to the fest I can take the wife over to Niagra thereby earning brownie points tradeable for a weekend on the Yough

I am actually trying to earn brownie points by going the Lower Yough, and not pushing the wife to the Gauley this weekend. But I'm sure I find a way to lose the points.

Planning on going ....but, of course anything could happen between then and now!
Its been quite a few years since I have been on this trip at this time of year so I am leaning toward being there!
I think I was still paddling an open boat then so its been at least 8 yrs.

Me and hubby, Dave, will be there, most likely in our dry suits since I expect it will be brr cold.

Dry Suits, yep going start looking for mine. My advice for weekends like this, bring all the gear you have.

Hey Folks - Bring anything Extra you may have too, I am Unequiped and not planning on going unless the weather is right...Unless I find something warm and waterproof to wear!

If you have anything laying aroung - Size XL - I'd rent it with beer!

Just discovered a heat source due to tight muscles in my neck - CAPSAICIN. Just bought Capzasin-HP and lathered it on after reading: 'a transient burning sensation may occur' on the package. Only after turning on a fan and switching to short sleeves due to the heat, I read the rest of the sentence that continued on the next line: 'upon application but generally disappears in several days. Forget washing it off your hands - wear gloves when applying.

You won't be cold again. Ever. Cold water makes this stuff hotter. I'm taking it on every cold-water trip.

Some folks might wanna watch what they handle after an application of said substance!
When ya hot,....ya hot!

Amen!

Planning on going at this point. Waiting on the updated weather report.

I am also planning on going.

I am planning to be there. I'll be leaving home (Lake Monticello, ten miles south of Xion Crossroads, exit 136 on I-64) before 4AM Saturday morning and traveling directly to the put-in for 10AM. Anyone going up from nearby that wants to carpool? I am driving my Grand Caravan. George Westerlund phone: 434-589-5674

Are some of you planning on paddling it again on Sunday?? I am trying to decide about spending the night.
