I was too chicken to try it, although I have done rafting on smaller whitewater. New River Gorge is just too much for me. My wife did it and was bruised from head to toe.

True, Tom. I'm not brave enough for it, but my wife enjoyed the trips she took. However, she was covered in bruises all over for two or three days after.
