Description: Entering "The Room of Doom": On their first Gauley Marathon run, these four crew members, in a very small 12 foot raft are having a real thrill of a ride at the door of "The Room of Doom" at Pillow Rock. They just need to hang on, high side, take the trashing and hope (and/or pray) they don't get thrashed out of the raft, bounced off Volkswagen Rock and flushed down the "Toilet Bowl" below Pillow Rock. Their hopes and prays were answered ... with credit to their guide Redneck and their extreme high siding.
