White Water Rafting

Over the summer I went on my first ever vacation without my parents. I was surprised that my parents let me go. I was always the one out of my friends who had a curfew, even after i turned 18. I went to Gatlinburg to camp and go white water rafting for a weekend. I'd have to say that whitewater rafting is the most exciting thing in the world. I was nervous about it, i was afraid that i would fall out of the raft. The river wasn't too difficult, mostly 3's and a few 4's. The river was only a mile and the trip took about 2 hours. Next summer we are planning another camping trip for a longer period of time on a river that is five to six miles long. I was told that this river will be more of a challenge and the rapids are level 5's. My river guide for this summer said he used to work on the the river we are planning on doing next year and said that people fall out left and right and he enjoyed it until and older woman broke a bone. I cannot wait for next summer!
