Hey hey folks,,,
Thought I would inquire to see if any of you cool cats wanna join me and a few others on our annual whitewater trip to West Virginia...
For those of you that enjoy whitewater rafting,,, we usually reserve 4 person rafts, (for extra action, lol) and the river is rated in the top 10 best whitewater rivers in the world... I can't remember if it is 5th or 6th... But whatev, its an awesum time, with plenty of class 5 water...
We go down on the opening w/e of what they call "Gauley season" It is the 1st w/e after labour day w/e every year... So this year it is the w/e of Sept. 9th/10th... The cost is roughly $300 to $350 canadian + gas/snacks/beverages/souveniers... Food is included and is actually good...
I have plenty of info as I somehow became the trip organizer over the years, and if anyone is seriously interested, just let me know,,,

I'm already going on a month-long vacation as of next week, but white-water rafting is lots of fun, falling off is half the fun.
I also went on an 8-day ww canoeing and portage in northern Quebec once, and it's unforgettable.

My friend did some research online for a good place for white water rafting. The place she found charges $125/day of rafting, and the raft holds seven. So in a way the actual rafting isn't too expensive. But the place is somewhere out in Ottawa. So if you add up the other expensives (i.e. transportation, food, and accomdation) it's going to be a bit pricy. But I guess it's worth the excitement...haha.... |

The above picture was taken on the Ottawa River, and Wilderness Tours is the biggest operator. Our group rate was about $150 a day (2days, 2 nights) and it included meals and the camping site. You can buy DVDs of your different runs too for about $45 bucks, which was very affordable, since we split the cost between 6 people, and I burned copies for everyone. It's an excellent place to start, if you've never been. |
