Guyandotte River

I know someone who worked a summer for the Department of Highways and they were flushing some culverts in the town of Helen. This town sits on Winding Gulf Creek. This creek dumps into the Guyandotte River. Anyway as they were flushing the culvert it was discovered that it was causing several house's toilets to spew water eveywhere. Apparently the majority of the about 50 or so houses had their sewage dumping diectly into the culvert which then went directly into the creek. This section of the Guyandotte mentioned above is about 25 miles below this creek so the potentcy of the sewage may dwindle by then by the time the water reaches this section. Just some information I thought I'd pass along.

Thinking about running this today,if I do I will post a more up to date report.

current on your Hep A/B shots?

Also, in Pineville, there are some great surf waves by the walking bridge near the grade school. 304-923-3403 is my number if you ever want to go boating there.

There is an alternative to this run on the Dotte. The put in is just above Pineville, go towards Mullens. The put in is just before New Richmond. You will see a swinging bridge that crosses the river. The put in is just beside that. You can email me at mikegwhomikeg@yahoo.com if you need more information. I lived approximately 18 years in this region.

If one has nothing positive to say....
