In September I was able to go whitewater rafting on the Gauley River in West Virginia. For most of the year the river is just a trickle of water. But, every fall when they open up the dam, the river turns into one of the top whitewater rivers in the US- or so I was told. It was amazing. It was the first real whitewater rafting I have done and now I definitely want to do more.
