What a great trip, we got our red-wings on. ES, you smack-talked the wrong swamp donkeys. Can't say I ever saw the mechanical bull though.
Let us raise a drink to the hero of Gauley, the Birdman, who woke the whole goddamn festival up at 3 am threatening murder and screaming about how the cops can't take his cocaine. For the Birdman, it's always "Go Time".

Did anyone video the bird man?? Please post!!
After his buddy soccer kicked him in the ribs and he said he would murder him in his sleep......I thought we had entered a new level for Gauley fest. Can't wait to see what happens next year.

Gar, you did't win! I thought you're ankle was broken, not your wrist. ha ha! Thanks for rallying me out there this weekend. You guys are the best hangover cure ever. Missed you Monday!
and I even managed to carp several rolls and be T-rescued for the first time ever by a lady in with a pink helmet on
Good work Joe!
1 pink boat retail- $1000, replacement boat after that one breaks-$1000, 1 hole in a drysuit-$600. 4 carped rolls+1 t-rescue+1 pink helmet- booty booty booty.
having the east coaters call you a pussy all winter long.....priceless
So did you buy ice cream to drown your sorrows and then give all the lonely east coat men thier massages like they asked?

First off, there is no kayaker on this planet that would ever beat me at foosball. You should know better Jen.
2nd, the pink helmet only interfered with Joe's fouth carp attempt. Folks this was a complete disgrace. Hell even Marty told folks Joe was from TexASS, and he swam all over the state. I just put my head down until it was all cleaned up. He did pay up the ice cream.
Jen Ross, sik rally. Hasn't paddled in two years, 10 pukes on the way to the put in, still drunk, perfect lines all day. Nice rally!
ES, is the man. Awesome hangin Eric, hopefully you'll get good at kayaking by next year.
Maria is sik. This girl should make all of us proud. The first 5 minutes I meet her and her gnarly finger, she pulls out a glass pogie she made to protect her destroyed digit. Had to love her instantly.
Joe K, what can you say. The guy is a great paddler with no roll. I mean how the hell do you even take a t rescue? He should have tried his ugly roll for 10 more minutes in that eddy. He is the ultimate road warrior, and a super fun guy to hang with though.
Booth is the prettiest guy out there after 3 days in a tent. Super cool guy; I'm knitting him a flower pattern pull over as we speak.
Livingston is a pimp! 40 bones= priceless. You bitches better have payed up.
Great weekend with some awesome folks. Thanks for hanging CO.
During a weekend where I didn't stop laughing for 100 straight hours, I must say that watching Jen open the door to her truck at 60mph on the highway before the Upper G putin and cover the entire side of it with puke was the funniest thing I've witnessed in a long time. That was on saturday morning before the party! Then she proceeded to stomp lines. Also, I would recommend against the mexican joint in summersville unless you're really loose and ready to laugh.
The sac up award of the weekend goes out to Leland who plugged the hole in Insignificant in a squirt boat - awesome. Honorable mentions go out to Gar who without a proper scout motivated the room of doom and maria who is definitely the toughest lady I've paddled with.
Darren, sorry, but the votes of Colorado boys all twisted up at the party don't really count. Further, half of those voting snuck the line and the other half were too chicken to run it a second time, much less a third. Hence, I'll allow Booth and Eric to qualify the incident.
Thomas gets a shout out for just being the man.
Also, the Colorado contingent got it done regardless of injuries. Marty continued to paddle post what I was sure was tibia break, maria paddled two days with a grossly broken deformed finger, gary suffered through with a busted ankle in a play boat and booth is just off broken ribs. I think I'm still missing an injury or two. Damn fine work team.
Joe
PS - Christine, where you been all my life? Word is you're having a great Gore season. Keep at it, hopefully we'll meet up there one of these days.

yeah, the colorado gimp squad made out ok for showing up this battered. I couldn't believe it at the putin when one person had a broken hand, another a broken foot, and another was puking her toenails out.
despite the rough start it was a nice showing - even if Gary did skirt the hole in insig just after a spout of poo-talking.
great seeing the Colorado crew out for some warm big water! it was good hanging with y'all appalachian style.
I have to say sitting in the eddy with Gary as Joe floated by it looked like he was on his last breath, the bright red face bobbing looked like it was at a definite loss of oxygen! I have to call it a swim dude!
It was great boating with the Colorado crew thanks for laughs and good times I look forward to giving you guys the tour in Wyoming!
Gary Great meeting you face to face finnally, we will hit the Big Horn Gold in the spring for sure!
why the need to be so harsh my fellow paddler? yard sales happen. by the sounds of it, i'm sure you have never had one, propts to u bro! i'm sure pillow rock gets your nads off every year, but seriously, how long has it been since you dipped your head in the fresh, cold, cleanest water in the states? no need to be a douche. I pick up yard sales no matter what river i'm in. i was once a newbee yard sale paddler which you may have been too at one point in time. I don't know??? I like to still believe that paddlers are a community, a brother/sisterhood of a sport that only we appreciate & see the beauty of. Why the angst? Mabe you need a refresher on the narrows @ 4.5'..... You can run it first, i'll give you a 30 minute lead, that way you have time to dry, warm up, get the beers cold and dry out my turkey sandwich!!!! happy and safe paddling my fellow paddler!! Put all that wasted energy into that next big loop!!!
