Bridge Day Whitewater Boat Riding

OVERVIEW

This is a Whitewater Kayakin (and possibly rafting) trip to the New River Gorge in WV for the Bridge Day Festival, and we will attempt to get the best seats in the house for viewing the Bridge Day jumpers – which would be on the river below the bridge!

TIMES/PLAN:
River shuttle will be set Friday Night.
Saturday: Camping at Ray’s Friday night, Launching on the NRG by 10 AM – then we will boogie down to Fayette Station eat lunch and watch the jumpers till 5 PM (or whenever they reopen the roads).
Sunday: No plan… I’ll likely be paddling, the NRG is an option, and it’s the last scheduled Gauley release (just sayin). There’s also dryland stuff you can do nearby.
