Wow, the water above Fayette Station looks so smooth and glassy! I usually kayak the New River Gorge each Labor Day Weekend. About 1/4 to 1/2 a mile upstream from the bridge where you took the picture, when the two bridges come into view, you actually cannot visually tell which bridge is closer-the big one or the little one. It's a weird optical illusion. Your photo is so beautiful and peaceful. At that point, I'm usually not paying as much attention to the scenery as I am lining up towards the right side of the river to catch those massive waves at Fayette Station. It's not the hardest rapid but if it wasn't at the end of the run, they'd probably make me seasick with their size. I'd say Middle Keeney messes the most people up at low summer levels, but Lower Keeney is the most intimidating looking. Have you been there? I'm pretty sure you can hike in.
Do you have any photos of the "Dries" below? I've only seen photos of it with water in it, when the boaters go. Otherwise, all the water is diverted into the tunnel. I've just never gone down that far.
Also, where is that beautiful creek with the water wheel? Does it still run? That, more than any lush tropical island or fabuolous mansion, is the place on earth I'd like to live more than any other.
