Upper and Lower Russell Fork
| River: | Russell Fork |
| Skill: | Intermediate |
| Trip Date: | 10/06/2018 |
We had unseasonably warm temperatures at the Russell Fork in beautiful Haysi, VA/Elkhorn City, KY. I believe it was the first time when drysuits nor neoprene were necessary. Some of us camped, others roughed it at the Gateway Motel.
We had 12 on the Upper on Saturday (myself, Greg, Delane, Joe, John, Trent, Joel, Andy, Mort, Chris, Ed, and Johnson)
5 of us continued to do the Lower (myself, Greg, Mort, Chris, and Johnson)
We had 10 on a shortened Upper section on Sunday (myself, Greg, Delane, John, Andy, Mort, Chris, Ed, Johnson, and Dale)
Mort, Chris and Johson all had great success with their personal first decent of the river.
Hope more will join us next year!
