Your raft guides didn't sound like they were as professional as they guides
that I rafted the Upper Gauley with on two occasions, but it sounds like a
typical bad swim to me that all rafters should consider. It ain't no Carowinds
ride. Its a choice. Sorry your trip turned out so badly. Go with a
recommended raft company thats known for service. There are a bunch of them.
Research a little bit more next time maybe?
