They're still hungover from Gauley Fest. Plus they sold their computers to buy guns.

I sold my house in Leadville because I'm sick of the western scene. I'm not a big overnighter these days, I'd rather run hard whitewater in my duckie or small raft and soak in the hot tub after. My family is all in Wyoming, so I'll always have roots here, but I'm looking to buy a place in Fayetteville, Friendsville, or some other 'ville out east by the water - where I can paddle 6 months a year without a peak and short shoulder seasons. I bet I pay half of what my Colorado crib sold for too!

The East is the new West!

6 months is kind of the low end. Sitting here with a West Virginia book right now. WV gets national acclaim for the Gauley but the diversity and season is great. Looking at some stuff to escape ice climbing and get down there this February for a little mid-winter respite. Lots of stuff should be peaking Feb-March just need to decide if I'm day boating or overnighting.

The New in March is a national whitewater, huge adventure, gem. Bigger than the waves in the Grand.

East is great if you're a kayaker. Rafting there is a lot more limited

Um, except for the awesome rafting on the Yough, Gauley, New, Savage, Russel Fork, Ocoee, French Broad, and a hundred other rivers! It's the west where rafting is limited, man.
