Having failed gauges 101 class, and having had to cancell the Tuckaseegee West Fork trip, I decided to plan a New River Gorge Trip. We had four paddlers sign up, the same people that were interested in the prior trip.

this trip was run jointly  with the Foothills Paddling Club in Greenville SC…The level was 700 cfs, which may have depressed the turnout for the trip.  The weather was hot and sunny, the water clear and a perfect temperature for swimming and cooling off. 

Nine paddlers made the run, including 3 1/2 first timers.  Participants included David Blumberg, Merridee Harper, Steve Getz, David Williams, Joe Owensby, Steve Yost, John MacDonald, Rick Steeves, and Cat Thrash.
