Whitewater Rafting - The Chattooga - Class III-V
We decided to try a new river this time since we were kinda bored with the moderate-level
and very short Ocoee. The
Chattooga seemed to be the next logical step. The Where the Ocoee was only three hours,
this trip was seven. It also had more dangerous rapids, as it was almost all Class IV with a of
Class V's. The distance was what made it so different from the Ocoee, because it became
pretty tough to do the required paddling at the end due to exhaustion.
We again went with NOC (Nantahala Outdoor Center.) Our guide was really cool and really laid back, but he had a really freaky thing going on with his foot - two of his toes were fused into one!

That's me in the middle of the boat, driver's side. I think I'm bracing for the inevitable.
We just got this picture because we thought it was hilarious that we were all
squished up in the front of the boat (not on purpose.) |

Those giddy smiles are us not believing what we just made it through.
It's the countenances of raving lunatics. |

Here we are swallowing copious amounts of water. |
