WOW, what an adventure! We decided to try whitewater rafting WV style for our family trip this year and had the best time we've ever had! Kelly and Kevin were the best taking us down the Gauley and "Sneeky Pete" showed us all the adventure the Lower New had to offer! We were so impressed with everyone associated with the Rivermen and have told many friends and we're making plans to come back in the Fall. Thanks for making our summer vacation a vacation we'll never forget!
