Speaking of Bilmore, there is a town in West Virginia where the Army Corps of Engineers once a year starts opening the dam in spurts to drain the artifical lake behind it. This causes a kind of limited festival for rafters and, yes, kayakers. The NYT article discusses the clash between the rafting/kayaking set and the locals. One quote caught my eye:

During my entire summer of hanging out with kayakers, I never heard any heavy metal around the campfire or in the bar. Blues and old Dead tapes was more like it. Then again, I never made it to the Gauley. Could be a different crowd down there.
