Gauley
7 Summersville Dam to Woods Ferry(Upper Gauley)
From this shot you'd never guess that a whopping SIX passengers in this boat had never rafted before, would you? (Can you see the woman diving in fear into the center of the raft instead of paddling?) But right before this rapid, after Michiganrafter was catapulted out by a paddler who did not know her right from her left--causing an inadvertant swim of Insignificant on a 42 degree day--we indeed found out that six of these people had never picked up a paddle before. You can see Michiganrafter, in the back, on the right, with the beard screaming at the rapid: "Come On!" or, something to that effect.
