I don't understand the current level measurement system there. If you look at your photo at that strong current, I guess it's at level 3 to 4 from a scale of 1 to 10.
That is a level that is still tolerable for non-pro class rafting participants, but still with the presence of a guide on an inflatable boat.
Let me make a suggestion; if you have the opportunity to go on the next trip, try a higher level and you will feel an even greater sensation. Of course @flowerbaby is coming back with you too.
You're really having fun and I'm glad to see you doing it too.
You’re probably correct, because it sounds like you know what you’re talking about.
We have the 3rd most popular rafting river in the world here. It’s called the Gauley River and that looks quite a bit more exiting (and dangerous) than the New River is.
I've heard it, the best rafting tracks are on the Upper Gauley River, and your heart gets really pumped up there. There has been no international rafting event there for a long time. I think West Virginia is a rafting paradise.
That is what I’ve heard, even though I live here I do not know many people who have accepted the Gauley challenge. Maybe one day I will attempt it.
I'm sure there are many clubs that focus on white water rafting. If you join, then you will be free to get a regular schedule to go down to Gauley and I'm sure you will color them with your passion.
Hopefully one day you will be listed as one of the vicious conquerors of Gauley.
That's a great idea. Thank you for the motivation!
You're welcome. I admire your zest for life and you have passed it on to the people here.
Have a great day.
