Webster Springs Cabin

Post by Dave K »

Howdy. The Webster Springs Festival ( http://www.websterwv.com/whitewater.html ) is still a ways away (3/31-4/1) but, due to it?s popularity, I had to already reserve a cabin if I was to get one at all. I reserved the Brookside cabin. It was the only one left and is the same one I got two years ago. It has heat, flush toilets, showers, a refrigerator, and about 20 bunk beds. It is within walking distance to he Festival. Here it is:

Based on the interest I thought I had been hearing, I went ahead and sent in the $50 non-refundable deposit. The cabin is actually $170 a night which, with 10 people, would be a lot cheaper than hoteling it I figured we?d split it evenly amongst the people who stayed there. However, I was told today that some folks were thinking of hoteling it nonetheless.

Assuming there is good water, how much interest is there, really, in staying in the cabin? Honestly, I would prefer it as it would provide a better place to cook which I?d much rather do than eat in Webster Springs. It is also close to the buffet breakfast that Camp Caesar is putting on both mornings as well as the Festival. Let me know if you?re interested in staying in the cabin or if I need to figure out a way to get out of it. (Losing $50 to Camp Caesar would make me angry. :evil: )

For those of you who don?t know about Webster Springs, it is a whitewater festival near some great streams in West Virginia. This year, I?m looking at running III / IV creeks (Upper Cranberry, Upper Meadow, Back Fork of the Elk) but would really love it if someone stepped up to do some of the II / III stuff in the area (Lower Cranberry, Cherry, Elk, etc.).

Also, I'm probably going to take off Friday, 3/30 and paddle somewhere in order to parlay this trip with the LVM video premier at Sweetbriar College on 3/29.

Thanks.

I'm in the process of getting some time off for this event. The cabin sounds good, is it a non-snoring cabin? :-P

By any chance do you have a life-sized picture of the cabin?? :evil: Because this huge one is not really enough :roll:
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.

Dave K, you?re a great boater but maybe you should leave this difficult technical work to your agent.

That is one draw back and a popular concern. There are two rooms - kind of. Mu suggestion is to get there early and lay some ground rules that all the snorers have a designated area.......and bring ear plugs.

Dave was concerned about the size of the picture but I told him to leave it the way it was - the people would want to see the front porch he puked off of after drinking too much Jaegermiester trying to forget about his super beat down on the Williams that day. It was so epice that video footage of the beat down still appears in competitions years later.

Karl, don't be a loser and bail on this. Imagine how monumental it would be having the PBP AND the CYA under one roof on a legitimate paddling trip!

Awwwww.....shucks!

It is all of you that make these trips so successful! I hope you all decide to come to Webster Springs, regardless of where you stay. Last year, we had 18 people on the Cranberry and I think 9 on the Upper Meadow! (DWeasel, this is your cue to throw up some pictures.)

I hope the cabin thing works out because, last year, when we hoteled it, I got stuck rooming with Timmy! (Nothing personal, Tim, but it made me angry. :evil: )

Asuming nothing come up and I can make it, I'm down with the cabin.

But I got to warn you

But I'm starting my 12 step program

Well, we'll put you in the "special" room, then.

Do you have a sponsor 'cause you're not really working the steps unless you do.

Did I snore? If so, you can reserve a spot for me in the "special" room. I don't recall throwing any food away that trip, maybe you just had premonitions.
