Gauley Season, 2nd Weekend, 9/12/2014
It was cloudy when I arrived in Summersville Thursday mid day and got a campsite for the Keelhaulers. I set up camp in a light mist but this year I have a 12foot Coleman canopy what has already proved useful for rainy days. On Friday no Keelhaulers were here and I met Mike Holly at the American Whitewater takeout in Swiss and we paddled our AllStars on the lower Gauley. On Saturday and Sunday I paddled with local paddlers Doug Ackerman & Kim Costo and their friends on the Upper Gauley. On Saturday night we went to Pies and Pints for pizza a beer. It was overcast and misty but not cold. On Sunday Charley paddled with us and showed us rocks on the river that looked liked animals. What a great weekend. /hugh
