What's this?

I'm rafting the Upper Gauley River in WVA October 10th...anyone rafted it?

Wondering what to expect.
I've done several rivers. The most similar in class rapids to the Upper Gauley would be the Ocoee in TN and the Cheoa in NC.

What are air temps early October inn WVA?

Is that weekend th/e Bridge party/feastival is happening
