White Water Rafting

To welcome back the students of the branch they had a rafting trip. We were all very excited, but on the way up the mountain through Helen, we got delayed because a huge tree fell across the road. After the firemen came with a saw and chopped it up we continued driving. When we got there it was horribly rainy and fogging, we were wondering if rafting down the Nantahala river would still be fun. Once we got on the river, it was so foggy that we couldn't see ahead of us, which actually made it fun because we couldn't tell if there was a waterfall ahead or not, which created a lot of suspense. Later, it ended up clearing pretty well. Here are some pictures from the trip...
