Whitewater rafting today! Woo hoo! We took the Great Smokey
Mountain Railroad from Bryson City to a stop where we departed and joined up
with a group to go whitewater rafting along the Nantahala River. The train ride
was relaxing and awesome, as we rode in an open air gondola car along the way.
The rafting trip was a lot of fun, and, of course, I got
splashed the most! J
Although, James got the wettest because he jumped into the river for a dip once
along the way. The water was pretty cold, only about 48 degrees, so it took his
breath away!
Our guide liked to do “rock spins” where she would have the
raft hit a big rock in the river and then she would spin us off of it. She said
she had never had anyone fall in from this, then two seconds later the man
behind me was thrown off! That was my side of the raft, and it went down into
the water but I grabbed James’ arm and stayed in the raft. (he says he has
bruises to prove it J)
I am sure the other raft guides on our tour will never let our guide live that
one down!
Sam was right up front smiling the whole time!
He loved it!
