SUMMARY:Upper Gauley Virgins - Saturday
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the special place - The Upper Gauley! I'm honored an
 d excited to organize this trip with Sejal and share my passion for paddli
 ng and for this river specifically with some of our club members.\n\nThis 
 is the first timers' trip for those club members who has proven technical 
 skills\, physical endurance\, and mental resilience to take on a very dema
 nding journey down the notorious Gauley River for the first time.\n\n&nbsp
 \;\n\nRegistration\n\nRegistration on CCC website is required.\n\nPlease c
 omplete the registration by Checking Out. If you do not\, your reservation
  will not be saved.\n\n&nbsp\;\n\nRiver\n\nUpper Gauley (Summersville Dam 
 to Mason Branch) - 10-mile section with target flow release of 2800cfs. Th
 is is big technical water with powerful hydraulics\, complex currents\, mu
 st-make moves\, and multiple major class V rapids. Technical line selectio
 n\, continuous decision making throughout the run\, ability to withstand v
 ery high physical demand\, and being ready for consequential swims are a m
 ust!\n\nWater temperature is generally on the warmer side. It cools off th
 roughout the Gauley season. By end of September expect to wear a drytop wi
 th light inner layer or possibly lighter gear if weather or you are on war
 mer side.\n\n&nbsp\;\n\nSkills\n\nI'm not going to list technical skills r
 equired for this run. However\, please be very specific when you list your
  skills on the registration form. This is not a run to "wing it" and you d
 on't want to find out that this was too much in the middle of Lost Paddle.
 .. Let's be realistic and work together to make sure you are signing up fo
 r the experience you are ready to have!\n\nActive CPR\, swift water rescue
  course within last 2 years\, good physical shape\, fully outfitted proper
  gear are all essentials for this trip.\n\nWalking out or portaging is ver
 y challenging (but possible if must be). If you are planning on walking so
 me rapids\, you are not ready for this run!\n\n&nbsp\;\n\nMeeting Place\n\
 nSummersville Dam put-in parking lot\n\nSaturday run: 9am\n\n&nbsp\;\n\nLo
 dging/camping\n\nI stay at Rays (rayscampground.com) and it would be great
  to hang out and meet each other there before and after the trip\, but not
  mandatory. If Rays doesn't work for you\, just meet us at the dam the mor
 ning of.\n\n&nbsp\;\n\n&nbsp\;
