Guest Andrea Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 Here's what I like to do: Whitewater rafting on the Chattooga River. Class 4 rapids. That's me hitting the rocks! [image][/image] Me and my best friend about to take off. [image][/image] And here we are about to jump off the cliff into the rapids about 20 feet below. ( COLD WATER!!!!)

DSGB Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 Re: What do you do for summer fun? (pics) Looks like a great time! I've never been rafting, but I've taken my dad's canoe down plenty of rivers. I hope to make a trip down the Flint River this summer. I don't think there are any rapids like the ones in your pictures, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

007hunter Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 Re: What do you do for summer fun? (pics) I did that a couple of years ago and man was it fun!!!! I'm gonna do it again someday. Not sure of what class it was though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Andrea Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 Re: What do you do for summer fun? (pics) It's a blast. Doesn't matter how old you are. There are different classes of rapids you can choose. Class 4 is as high as they will let the public go though. The first time was scary but after the first couple of drops, I was HOOKED!!!!!!!! It's called Nantahala Outdoor Center in Clayton Georgia. We go there about every other year. Time to go again!!!!!!!!! Hoping to go sometime in July or August. The movie Deliverance was filmed on this river too. They tell you all about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Andrea Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 Re: What do you do for summer fun? (pics) Me crazy?????? That was exactly what I was thinking too when I went over the first rapid. It's all very safe. They take EXTREMELY good care of you. They have two rescuers waiting with ropes at the bottom of each drop. If you fall out...you are immediately hit with a rope to pull you out. But you can always go on the "kiddie" rapids that most families go on with little kids. It's exciting and the scenery is gorgeous. I think Realtree oughta have a get together HERE. Now THAT would be FUN!!!!!!!!! Can you imagine the pictures we could post after that trip??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alisha Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 Re: What do you do for summer fun? (pics) I've never been on it...... but I know people that have and people that have worked for the rafting companies. As far as what class it is - I'm fairly sure it goes up to class 5 rapids. I've also heard that the Gauley River is a blast as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_MD_ Posted April 29, 2005 Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 Re: What do you do for summer fun? (pics) That looks like a lot of fun. But I usually float the local rivers in an float tube. Thats fun but for excitement I like to wakeboard! Now thats fun!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangerClay Posted April 29, 2005 Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 Re: What do you do for summer fun? (pics) FUN!? You bet it is We went on class 3's and 4's on the Deerfield River in Mass. a couple years ago and it was the single greatest adreniline rush I have ever had. If you have never tried it you should! Where we went they had a slower ride with class 1's & 2's for old folks like Dogdoc It's called the old folks run. My Uncle in his 60's had a blast. Andrea, if you are ever up here in NY you can ride the Black River with me anytime. Ranger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL I spend the summer fishing, camping, bow shooting, more fishing, pig roasts, horseshoes on Friday night, and more fishing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
