Title: Once In A Lifetime
Post by: juliasquaredphotography on April 28, 2014, 05:45:37 PM
[attachimg=1]This is Nantahala Falls. It's on the Nantahala River in North Carolina. On Sunday, I got back from two weeks in North Carolina. We spent the first week hiking a five day section of the Appalacian Trail and then spent six days whitewater kayaking on nearby rivers. Our last day was on the Nantahala River. It was an optional day, so if someone wanted to stay back, they could. Before the trip and during most of the trip, I figured I'd stay back at the church we were staying at while everyone else went to the Nantahala. In the end, though, I came. I then thought I'd opt out of Paton's Run, the first rapid with big, cold waves, but I did Paton's Run. Then, the last rapid we came to was this- Nantahala Falls. Also optional. I very nearly opted out of it, but knew I'd regret leaving the Falls not run. So I ran it.
It was awesome.

Oh, you are much braver than I am.  To begin with, I wouldn't do any whitewater rafting!   ;D  A beautiful photo of the river and the rapids and I'm sure you must have a real feeling of satisfaction at having run the optional rapids.  Congratulations!  :thumbsup:
