Rafting could be a new hobby

New River: the last 3 rapids we rafted

Today was a pretty awesome day.  I didn't get to sleep in or get anything on my list accomplished, but it was totally worth it.  White water rafting was simply amazing.  I never fell out of the boat, I got soaked more than once, I sat in the front and worked on my tan.  The most dangerous rapids we went through were cat 4, BUT in 3 weeks when the dam is opened they go to 6's and 7's.  I think that would be super fun.  I can see why people love it so much.  Out guide was great and gave us great tips if we want more of challenge and what outfitter to try out on another river further north.  Depending on how long I say I think I can convince Rick to go again.  Next weekend's gonna seem pretty mild if we don't keep up our adventures.  We are thinking zip lining might be next.

This week could become WV appreciation week.  Today was nature, tomorrow some class A baseball, and later in the week farmer's market and a couple restaurants.  Making the most of what I've got.
