Today is the day that they release the Summersville Lake dam here in WV which kicks off the Gauley Rivers' whitewater rafting season, has anyone been whitewater rafting and did you enjoy it?

I have been, here's a few pics of the release!

The closest I've ever been to white water rafting is a lazy tube ride in the river.

Dear Angela,

Washington State has wonderful whitewater and yes I have loved it, over the years...also one (actually twice) memorable trip down the Green River in Utah, a tributary of the Colorado, where we were searching out and studying ancient Anasazi pictographs.

These days, however, I mainly take my little rubber boat and float gently down the mighty (little) Skookumchuck on its way to meet up with the Chehalis River, all heading toward the Pacific Ocean...
