 rip Logistics:~NOLICHUCKY GORGE River Trip (Class III/IV*) lead by APE’s
  Cruise Director\, Wesley R. Bradley.Cost: $5.00 for USA Raft bus shuttle

 and your whitewater skill set.  Please also ensure you bring a whitewater 
 boat suitable for the river conditions.  Low water flow ( CFS) will be mor
 e pushy and swims can be long and boat/gear lose can occur.  We will have 
 the trip from 250 – 3\,000 CFS.  However\, to ensure the safety of all p
 articipants on this trip we will require 1st timers to execute a few basic
  paddling maneuvers and/or practice rolls/self rescue in flat water to qua
 lify at the put-in before we headon down the river\, if the river flow is 
 not in optimal ranges (600-1\,200CFS). Meet at the USA Raft Outpost (This
  will be the trip take-out) at 11:00 A.M.  When you arrive on site go to U
 SA Raft store to fillout waiver\, pay $5 and get parking pass.  USA Raft w
 ill be shuttling our group up to the put-in using one of their raft buses 
 and a boat trailer.  This will make our logistics for shuttling very easy 
 and our cars will be waiting for us back at the take out when we get off t
 he river!  Please bring $5.00 to help cover the cost of this shuttle ride 
 and this covers your USA Raft parking pass.~LOWER NOLICHUCKY River Trip (U
