Riding the White Horse

I went WhiteWaterRafting yesterday! White Horse is a class III rapid at the end of my river trail where Shenandoah and Potomac meet. Anybody who seeks fun and adventure should definitely try white water rafting and if possible class III and above(with an experienced guide). Our 'trip' down the river was organized by the RiverAndTrailOutfitters and I should say that it was extremely well organized. Our guide was a guy named Gabrielle who sells surfboards on e-bay and aspires to join the marines even though he doesn't really believe in war! I have noticed that most of the good guides are good story-tellers and this guy was excellent at it. He'd unravel the american history on the river and occasionally feed us with bits of local rumors.To top that, he was good at handling the raft too!

My next destination for white water rafting is the Gauley river in West Virginia where I can do a class V rapid ;)
