Well, I made it back from the raft trip and I have to say it was quite possibly the most fun I have EVER had in my entire life!!!! What a rush!! Out scout troop is already talking about taking another trip in October and I can't wait. I did get thrown from the raft a few times, but I did pretty well over all. We went downriver 8 miles through about 20 rapids many of which were class 3 and 4 and ever a couple class 5s. If you ever get a chance to go - take it!!!
I'm leaving this afternoon to go on a whitewater rafting trip in West Virginia. My 12 year old son and I will be joining other members of his Boy Scout Troop for a trip down the New River near Fayetteville, WV. I've never been rafting, so I'm very excited and a bit aprehensive. I'll let you know how it goes. Wish me luck!!! :)
