Takin' My Time in West Virginia

Okay, so I have been in WV for 5 weeks now and no updates. The internet service is spotty at best most of the time, the rest of the time I am out having fun, sorry. I headed back east a few days before Labor Day weekend. I went to my college roomate, Matt and Amiee's wedding in upstate NY that weekend. I got a job video kayaking for Class VI on the Gauley river on the drive back. Labor Day I met up with my buddy John Greer and paddled the Beaver and a low water run on the bottom Moose. The next day I drove down to Fayetteville, WV to make my new home in the woods.

I lived in a tent on a giant rock for the first 3 weeks. The next week my neighbor headed out so I took over his old platform. It is pretty deluxe.

I have been on the river working almost everyday. the few days i have had off i still went out on the Gauley on play runs. It has been really great being back east. I have had a chance to hang out with most of my friends out here. on non-release days i have been rockclimbing and mountain biking and taking photos.

Thats about all i have time for right now. Hopefully some more photos and stories will soon follow.
