Rafting the Natahala
We rented a raft from the Natahala Outdoor Center without a guide. I don’t know how long that has been an option, but most of the outfitters on the Natahala seem to be providing the service nowadays. They take you 8 miles up the river and you are in charge of navigating some class 2 and one class 3 rapid.
Someday someone will tell the story of our maniac captain, who was given to fits and frequently threw himself in the river.
Ooo do tell! It sounds like someone I know.
