Rafting !!!!

The Nantahala River Gorge is one of the premier places to white water raft near us ..... not the biggest white water around ..... but plenty big for us. 



Some friends from the campground here joined the three of us to book a half day trip down the Nantahala River day before yesterday.  We spent over 2 1/2 hours going 8 miles downriver, with a few class 2 rapids, and one good class 3 ...... which got us good and wet. 

The Gorge is about 2 hours northwest of us; we have to go over the mountains or around .... so on the return we came back on the Blue Ridge Parkway .... an absolutely marvelous place with absolutely marvelous views of the blue ridges.
