DA OG UPPER G!!!!! | Whitewater Rafting the Upper Gauley @ Gauleyfest!

OVERVIEW

**THIS TRIP IS A COMPLIMENTARY ONE TO JADE’S** YOU WILL NOT GET OFF THIS WAITLIST UNLESS I SEE YOU ARE ON THE OTHER WAITLIST (aka u just gotta be on both trips to actually attend)

Hello my whitewater hooligans!

I want to take some people down the Upper Gauley because it is literally THE best rafting you can do in these United States of America. PLEASE READ THIS WHOLE DESCRIPTION

THIS TRIP IS FOR:
– People who have rafted or otherwise paddled class IV rapids
– People who are strong swimmers

The waters of the Gauley are formidable and sometimes deadly. By signing up for this trip you acknowledge the risk inherent with rafting class IV and V rapids. You also agree to listen to and follow instructions from the trip leaders when given. You can learn more about the Upper Gauley at the American Whitewater page here:

^^ get stoked on all these sick rapids

That all being said, Will and I are experienced guides with certifications in swiftwater rescue. We’re going to have a great time!

THE PLAN:
– You’ll give me your size info in the questionnaire. I’ll grab the right gear for you.
– We will probably meet up Friday night to go over the details for Saturday, I’ll make a groupme of all of us to facilitate stuff
– We’ll aim to get out of the campsite pretty earlyish. I really can’t say when right now because I may do an earrrrrly lap beforehand and we may try and meet up with other groups paddling down.
– We’ll set shuttle, and rig boats
– Paddle down river and stop at Pillow Rock, hopefully saying hey to Jade and crew
– Keep paddling, take out, de-rig, reset shuttle and get back to rays to chilaxxxx

So the exact logistics are up in the air but we’ll work everything out by friday night

YOU SHOULD BRING:
– All the stuff jade told you to duh.
– A water bottle w/ water. A beverage if you’d like
– snacks/a lunch
– Clothes that you are cool swimming in! The water is not super cold but will feel quite *refreshing* so long sleeve drywick stuff is cool too.
– river shoes that will stay on your feet! NO CROCS!!!!!
– A towel and a change of clothes if you’d like
– Money for brekkie in town pre-rafting?
– Sunscreen probably

I bring all the rafting stuff. Yuh.

I think that’s all? I am so stoked to get back on this river!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
