With the end of the summer rafting season almost in sight we have been blessed by the Gauley River fall releases once again. The buzz is in the air and the guides and staff here at Songer have caught their second winds. This Friday marked the first day of Gauley season and the big water began, running through monday it has definately quenched our thirst for big water action.
With the return of the water comes the seasonal appearance of our transient guides from all over the county. Long time favorites such as Charlie Brown, Hobbit and Snuffy have all rolled into town along wth many of our favorite guests who come season after season. The Upper and Lower Gauley runs allow for two distinct 12 mile sections and there are countless lines and technical slots to be explored on the river, making every run unique.
The tight and narrow passages through the river create a veritable whitewater playground for skilled boat guides from all over the rafting world. With more surf waves then Maui, the Gauley has allowed some guides to show off the surfing skills they've been fine tuning all year. A sampling of Songer's guide parking will reveal license plates from Colorado, New Mexico, Georgia, Tennessee, and of course, plenty from right here in West Virginia. Every unique river region brings with it a different style of guiding, making for a very impressive show on the river.
Along with Gauley Season comes new special offers. Check out the buy 1 get 1 half price offers for the weekend of October 3rd through October 6th. Or use the three day weekend for Columbus Day (October 11th-13th) to catch the Gauley at significant savings.
