Rafting the Upper Gauley River, 2006

This year's crew was Mark Stevenson, Karl Kleinpaste, George Jones, and Mike Jones.  This time we also rafted the Lower Gauley, which was pretty but not as wild a ride as the Upper.

The following sequence of photos is this year's approach to "Pillow Rock".  A great run!

Powering through the hole during the approach to Pillow Rock.

In the hole and about to climb up the pillow of water in front of the rock.

Ramming speed!

Full contact rafting!
