Drift-a-Bit West Virginia Whitewater Rafting
Kind of very dated, but I've been meaning to add this to my blog for quite a while.
I added a link to Drift-a-Bit, the rafting company that I use to go rafting with in the New River Gorge and Gauley River Valley's in West Virginia. Haven't been on a trip there in years, but I'd like to do it again next year. The New River and Gauley are actually beautiful protected National Parks and National Recreation Area's. I think the New is one of the only North American river's that flow's south to north and has an interesting geological history. On the Upper New, you can take a nice slow drift or enjoy Class-5 Whitewater on the Lower New all year round. And oh yes, there's lots of legends that accompany the trip down the New with a good river guide. The Gauley is navigatable only in the Spring when they open the flood gates of the Summersville Lake Dam and flood the river. Gauley is a blast, whitewater all day long in wetsuits in February. Anyway, I added the Drift-a-Bit link on my favorites to the right. It was hard to find link but a great "small" company to camp with and have fun. hb PS: Yeah, that's me up front in the raft, second one back, river high side. If you go there for any reason you have to see the New River Gorge Bridge. It was build to rust together to be stronger and once a year they have "Bridge Day" so people can base jump legally from it.
