Gauleyfest! - Posted by KennyEichler at 09:44 PM

Gauleyfest is this coming weekend (Sept. 19-21) in Summersville, WV!  It is just crazy whitewater and paddling all wrapped up into one amazing weekend...

We will be taking rafting trips and kayaking trips on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday on the epic Gauley river.  We also plan on climbing in the New River Gorge area.

This year Shannon Ronan is organizing the trip, if you are interested contact her.  Shannon

See you this weekend!

i've recently been working on an online gear inventory and check-out system for the outing club.  this will hopefully make it easier to keep up with the gear the club has and prevent people from hording gear.

so what we need you to do is play with it.  let me know if something appears to not work.  click here:  http://apps.facebook.com/whogotwhat/

your first time visiting you'll be asked to add yourself to the database.  don't worry we won't sell your information to scammers in nigeria.  in fact, we don't have access to any information you don't want us to.  as a normal user this application will seem very boring.  there will be 2 functions for you to use:  see what gear you have checked out and see the gear the club has.  admins have other cool tools such as seeing who has what, seeing what's overdue, etc.  admins can also send notifications to users with overdue gear.  we may check some gear out to you during this testing phase just to see how it works, don't worry we know you don't really have it.

why use facebook?
*because 99% of you are probably already signed up for it.  so you won't have to register for a new service
*because of the reason above, it should be easy for people to learn to use a facebook app
*facebook already has the contact information we need to get in touch with you

so, click away.  try and break it and please let me know if you're successful.  send any comments and suggestions my way as well.

I am looking for some tips about good camping spots in Alaska or Canada if anyone has gone.  I am interested in taking a 2 week camping/hiking/canoeing/climbing/fishing vacation after I graduate.  I would appreciate hearing back from anyone who has camped in Canada or Alaska.

thanks,

Mark

I am planning a trip to Pilot Mt for sometime the 24th-26th of October.  We may go Friday evening and stay the night or maybe Saturday and stay the night or we may just go early Saturday or Sunday for just one day.  It sort of depends on the weather and when people will be available.  So I need people who are interested to come talk to me at the next meeting if possible so I can decide on when to leave and come back and what gear we need to get.

Thank you,

Hello Lovelies,


The (in)famous Little Brother and I will be heading up to Bridge Day on the Gauley River in West Virginia on the 18th, the weekend after Fall break. We have yet to determine if this will be a paddling or climbing trip but I would really love to do some climbing at the New if anyone is interested in tagging along.

Come to the meeting this Wednesday for more info!!!

A couple of our members are interested in hiking and camping in the Smokeys for part of fall break.

Let me know if you are interested or want a more information.
