I know it doesn't seem possible but this year marks the 15th year for the Bluestone River trip. We plan to start a few miles above I-77 bridge this year just as we did 15 years ago. In years past, we have had water levels between flood and virtually dry, weather between balmy to freezing, and sunshine to hail. I expect this year's conditions will be within these limits. We will have our traditional Saturday night meal at the Oak Supper Club for those who want.
Campgrounds are also available.
Pipestem doesn't rent rooms for one night on weekends except on cancellations. Those who want to make the Bluestone trip this year have the option of camping, spending Friday and Saturday nights in the lodge, or making other arrangements. If you want to spend two nights in the lodge, let me know so that I can confirm reservations very soon. Based on comments from previous Bluestoners, this trip is a unique combination of exceptional scenery, reasonable whitewater, excellent riverside accommodations, and outstanding food and socializing.
