Shenandoah

Don't fool yourself...this is not a pure whitewater run.....and as far as the guides that work this area they have always been a-holes since I was a little kid....everyone of them thinks they are some sort of pro...this river isn't even that difficult here...the only reson that buisness exsists is to cater to the rich a-holes that are moving west from Fairfax and destroying the area. Either way this is a fun run low or high......if it's low you grab a bunch of beer and sit in Bull Falls all day as it turns into a hot tub at low levels in the summer time.......if it's higher water than you might have some decent rapids.....also look for a jumping rock around the take out us locals call the 'Warshing Machine'. You'll recognize it as the spot where everyone is getting drunk, usually lotsa mullets, and probably a 18year old girl draggin her baby around and 8 months pregnant. Sucks cause the rednecks trash the place (beer cans and the like) but a fun spot to hang in the summer either way... just avoid the raft guides as those of us who grew up in the area don't care for thier pretentious attitudes. Believe me the rednecks are nicer!
