Crazy Water Rapids ( West VA Gauley River )

Wow what a weekend. This weekend I went went white water rafting on the Gauley river in West Va. I have never done white water rapids before. It was a thrill. I did not quite know what I was getting myself into when I said sure I will go but I am sure glad I went. I drove up Friday night Jon to camp Friday night then do the rapids Saturday day , camp out Sat night to return Sunday. I got to drive up with Jon a friend I have known for years. But it was really fun driving up with him because we had 5 hours to kill and talk allot about all kinds of different things we never had a chance to talk about before. So got to know quite allot about Jon that i never knew before. The tree's were so amazing. As we went down the river ever where you looked it was breath taking. The boat did tip over , we jumped off a 20 foot cliff into the water just for the fun of it and we went down 5 series of class 5 rapids some of them almost hitting huge rocks. It was so much fun. I will be back next year :-)

PS: Note for camping next time. Bring a sleeping bag or blankets, always bring jackets and do not forget a towel. In other words bring more camping things hehe
