Pillow Rock

Gauley season in West Virginia is just about done.  There’s still one more weekend -Bridge Day- which you can book right here.

And after that?  We’ll we usually do one or two or three trips before the whole thing winds down.

The Gauley River this year was a blessing.  We had great fun and lots of laughs with our guests, guides, and staff.

In short, it was awesome.  Here are some of our favorite memories…

-Headlamps in the morning for those first trips at daybreak.

-The sound of the horn at the Summersville Dam, telling us (warning us?) that the water is rising!

-That first wave hitting the boat.  It feels like a prize fight when you suddenly realize, “Hey, I’m in the ring!”

-Gauley Fog.  n othing better than comming around a bend and not seeing the rapid you hear.

-Pillow Rock.  Pillow Rock.  Pillow Rock.

-Lunch out on the river.  Blue skies, good friends, eats.

-The smell of woodsmoke in the mountains.

-Leaves turning.  Nothing looks better this time of year.

-The scene at Sweet’s Falls.  And can I just say that Songer OWNS the box canyon?

-Great, great parties in the highwater lounge.  All the music and dancing we could handle for a season.

-Hearing Gauley stories from young and old, virgin and veteran, friends from the past and faces fresh this season.

We just want to take a moment to say thanks.  Y’all are the best.
