Hi,

In about two weeks I'm going to take a two day trip down the Gauley 
River in West Virginia.  Being how this is the first time that I've 
rafted in the fall, I'm not exactly certain what kind of clothes I 
should plan to wear.  I already have a paddlejacket, but am not sure 
what I should wear beneath it (in the summer I usually wear a T-shirt,
or what I should wear for pants.  A guide that I spoke 
with this summer said that I probably would not need a wet suit as 
long as I did not go into the water (ha ha).  I expect to be wet for 
most of the trip. 

FYI, the Gauley is a dam fed river which flows through a 500 foot 
deep canyon.  I expect that we'll be in shade for a good part of 
the trip, and that the water will be cold.  I would expect that 
the air temperature will be at around 60 to 70 degrees.

Any advice would be most appriciated.  Thanks,

--
