Meadow (Gauley River trib.)

Warning! About half-way down this section there is a large (14' diameter?) tree trunk (bole) obstructing the left, easier route around a huge (15'?) boulder that divides the bulk of the flow, that runs mostly down river left here. At a low medium river level (?), my class 4 kayaker buddy tried to get to the right of the boulder but couldn't, struggled to shore, got out next to boulders on the river shore, climbed over the bole, and pushed his boat through beneath! Still upriver, I boat scouted toward river right and discovered a nice, easy, looping chute next to the shore! It's easier to get to the sooner you get right. HIgher flows are probably less forgiving! April 15, 2016
