Re: cheat_training_group Fall Training / 1st Gauley Trip!

Hey all. 

Looking forward to seeing you all on the Gauley this weekend. I know a lot of people feel the Gauley is really hard, but in many ways it's easier than the upper yough. Yes it's bigger but the lines are easier to see in my opinion and the major Rapids are very well known. 

I will be running a marathon Friday and then two upper run the following days. I look forward to hearing of your adventures.

I can personally vouch for the fact that you can easily swim.... if you happen to be swimming out of the juicer.... from there to the take out. Just sayin...don't get all chatty and distracted in that last rapid.....

You can do it. You just have to paddle across and hike up to it.

Tom may have a thing for doing this...

nope - i think that jane's juicer is the last rapid of the upper before the take out.

Masons branch allows people running the LG to paddle juicer, right?

Hey Bill, the AW website has putins and take outs. Your GPS probably wont work anyhow, so make sure you have directions somewhere you can get to them without relying on internet at all. I suggest you print them hard copy, or take a pic with your phone. Just note that the Bucklick Branch isn't used anymore. Upper ends at Mason, and that's where Lower starts. 

Gauley - 7 (Upper). Summersville Dam to Mason Branch

Gauley - 8 (Middle). Mason Branch to Bucklick Branch

Gauley - 9 (Lower). Bucklick Branch to Swiss

Bill,  I don't know the coordinates for the Mason Branch put-in, but it is clearly marked shortly before the turn to Wood's Ferry.  The Mason Branch turn is often controlled so that only busses can enter, and I expect that to be happen,  in which case we will put-in at Wood's Ferry.
I hope that helps.   -    Tom

I couldn't pull them off the AWA map.

Hi Ashley,

 

After wrestling with the logistics Helen and I decided to camp at the Fest and join the crew for paddling on Saturday, but we will skip Sunday paddling …  Helen can get back home to catch up on schoolwork.  We're bummed about missing camping with Tom and Steve-O (call me for beer) and the rest of the folks staying at Tawney.

 

My cell is 202-276-1300.

 

Does anyone have thoughts on what the drive time might be during Gauley Fest from the Fest campground to the Middle put-in at 9:30am?

 

Bill Geary

Hi Fall Trainers,

 

This coming weekend is our first Gauley Trip! Get excited, 'cause it's Gauley Fest, too!! Steve-O and Tom will be leading you this weekend. They are driving up Friday and we will be camping both nights at Tawney Farm (directions here). We plan to eat breakfast in camp so plan to bring food for the morning and to make yourself a lunch to eat on the river. We want to leave the campsite at 9 am. 

 

You can also chose to drive up Saturday morning. You will need to be at the put-in to the Middle Gauley, Mason's Branch, at 9:30 am. (directions on AW).

 

We will eat dinner out on Saturday night. Sunday the group will split. Plan to eat breakfast at 7 am at Mabel's Restaurant in Mt Nebo so don't stay out too late!!! 

 

The group going so far is Bill and Helen Geary, Jon Zeidler, Lisa, Mike A, and Ucilia.  

 

We are not planning to go to Gauley Fest. If you guys want to stop by Saturday evening or even camp there and meet us in the morning, that is fine. Please just let us know your plan- when you will arrive, whether you will camp at Tawney Farm, how many nights. I need to let the campground know how many to expect. If you guys want to work out carpooling, we can start a seperate email chain.

 

For the rest of the Fall Trainers, Jen Sass will be leading a workout on Saturday 9/17, meeting at 9 am at Lock 5 again.  Please do email whether you will come. 

 

Thanks & have a great weekend!
