White Water Rafting

Our two friends and Dustin and I floating down an almost current free area


A raft going down a small rapid


While my parents were here the four of us and two friends went white water rafting down the new River Gorge (the second oldest river in the world). We began our floating trip around 8:30am and it concluded around 3:00pm. What an amazing day!! It was sooooo much fun! I would do it again!!

The trip included rapids from class 2 to class 5 (class 5 being the largest rapid). There was once or twice that I thought I was going to be flung out of the raft, but I kept my toe wedged under to keep myself in the raft. We bought a video of our rafting trip, so as soon as we get that file transfered, I will put a video of us going down a nice rapid. I will also get some better pictures soon. These pictures are those that we took, but the professional photographer/vidoegrapher got much better shots. I will post those very soon as well. They are hilarious!!!

Anyway, check back soon and I will have them up.....hopefully by Monday!!
