In the distant past, running a river was a wilderness experience. Much has changed.

The gauley river is an awesome time if it's not on your bucket list it needs to be.

Rafted down the Gauley in the mid 90s. It’s the only time I ever rafted and I couldn’t have had a better time. That river is no joke

That guy that jumped at 2:48 to be able to flip the Creature Craft. Is he alive? There’s no way he’s able to surface from those current. Looks like a whirlpool tbh After looking closely, the second guy who jumped to flip it back over seems to be hanging onto the raft. But the first guy who jumped on at 2:40 and flipped it, definitely did not resurface.

They're fine. People were jumping into the water left and right and no one seemed concerned, leads me to believe its not a huge deal. you can see an eddy just beyond the rapids and people swimming to it

@tankmaster1018 4 жыл бұрын

Its the Gauley Fest! It's held every year in September, and is a couple of days of camping out in a local park and hitting the Gauley and/or New River by day, and getting absolutely hammered and doing keg stands until you collapse and destroy vender stands by night. Lmfao at least thats what I experienced in 2019 which was my first year getting out there. It was at a local Veterans Memorial Park with live music and bands playing N shit, with everyone camping out with the Jackson Kayak RV as a sort of festival center point. My experience was limited because I had just started kayaking and wasn't nearly good enough to paddle any of the rivers in the area, so I helped out a friend who was running a vendor booth. My last memory of the Gauley fest was calling it a night around 5 in the morning right after someone had attempted to do a keg stand in front of the booth and fallen, crashing into the stand and taking the table and a few people with them. Good time to call it a night!

This is the first that I’ve ever seen these Creature Crafts before. Interesting design theory to keep them from flipping; but, doesn’t the very design greatly reduce ones visibility, since there is a massively thick inflated tube directly in the middle of ones line of sight?

@joshpit2003 5 жыл бұрын

Looks that way. But visibility probably isn't that important in this type of craft. In pretty much all the videos I have seen of them, you are just along for the ride. No amount of paddling seems to make any difference in the upper-class rapids that these float through.

I'm pretty sure the blue Creature-Craft that appears @2:30, is a Handi-Raft Modification, being paddled by its inventor, Eric Thompson. E.T. has a T-8 level spinal cord injury. Yes, he's paddling the Upper Gauley, solo, and he is paralyzed from about the sternum on down. Very big, very brassy, his are!

Not sure if you know, but my buddy Chuck cleared a trail from the bottom of clear creek falls up to the top of Timber Falls on Clear Creek. Looking upstream at Clear Creek, it starts as a horse trail on the right, just past where you eddies out below CC Falls. Nice video... Can't believe how washed out CC Falls was and how badass Blackberry looked. Not sue where you live, but if you are around Atlanta, you've got to run Sweetwater and the Dog in Douglas County. I have videos on both.
