My group did the Gauley marathon with ACE. . . .
I (being a rookie) somehow found myself in a 12 foot boat, known as a 'gung-ho' boat which didn't exactly ease my nervousness. that and I got washed right out on our first big hit . . . .
But let me tell you, those were the most exciting 10 hours of my life! For those of you not familiar with the Gauley river, it has four or five class V+ rapids in it, and a few normal V's, a buncha fours and threes, countless 2' and 1's . . . I mean, in the 23 miles I rafted on friday we went through about 100 rapids.
I have a DVD of our group (of 43 of my school mates) going through the biggest rapids, and as soon as I can persuade my DVD player to let me printscreen, I'll post pics.
Fun time.
