Rescheduled OCT Goshen Pass cleanup NOW SUNDAY 4/8!

Alicia · Post by **Alicia** » Mon Mar 26, 2018 7:03 pm

Please mark your calendars for this umpteenth annual good karma event! Hope folks can make this rescheduled date. NOW SUNDAY 4/8!

We'll meet @ the Rockbridge Baths P.O. on Rt. 39 on Sat, 4/7/18, @ 10am. Please park across from, NOT in front of or adjacent to the P.O. I'll have orange vests & trash bags. Then we'll drive upstream, stagger our parking, & pick up all the trash we can alongside Rt. 39 & down towards the river where possible. Please bring gloves. I also recommend long pants & long sleeves due to poison ivy. About noon, we'll head back to my house in RB for a cookout, courtesy of Coastals.

Most years, we've been fortunate to have enough water to then run 1 or 2 sections of the Maury - the Pass [Advanced], Indian Pools down [intermediate] &/or below the P.O. [low intermediate]. Fingers crossed for water this year. If not, Balcony Falls is always available as a back-up (35 minute drive from RB).

To help with my shopping list for the cookout, PLEASE LET ME KNOW BY THURSDAY, 4/5, IF YOU ARE COMING. However, if you decide to come @ the last minute, you'll still be quite welcome, but I won't be able to promise you a big lunch.

Thanks in advance for helping with this worthwhile club event - last year we had 36 volunteers & collected 54 bags of trash, extending our pick up area both above & below the Pass!

Please note the Pass trip will be putting in @ the swinging bridge, which is a Wildlife Management Area & requires a DGIF access permit or fishing or hunting license. See here for info: http://www.dgif.virginia.gov/access-permit/ and http://www.dgif.virginia.gov/licenses/[b][/b]

As Alicia's trip has rolled into my O.C.T. we'll have some overlap. Forecasts are going all over the place. My latest look-see says we'll have some early morning rain and dropping temps. I'm game for the cleanup, the cookout, and some sort of paddle on the Maury. I'll probably bring both a regular and a beater boat.

All good fun,

Ken

Rescheduled AGAIN now to SUNDAY, 4/8, due to rain/snow & cold.

Hopefully will also bump up the river.

Sorry but thanks for being flex.

Will miss you, Kurt.
Thanks, John.

Wet snow here in Rockbridge Baths now (6pm). I just thought to put lawn chairs in the basement w/ the dehumidifier. Folks might want to bring a dry chair for the cookout.
