Whitewater Rafting on the Gauley, WV

What's left to say? We did the Gauley Marathon - the whole gorgeous river in one incredible day! From the put-in at Summersville Dam to the take-out at Sugar Creek 23 miles (and over 7 hours) later, we ran more than a 100 named rapids...over 60 are Class III or better, including 6 Class V+ monsters! I got tossed from the raft four very exciting times and didn't get hurt once! As far as accidents go, I can't say the same for the rest of our troop, though... multiple bruises and one swollen knee... but this is still too much fun for one single day of thrills and spills!

Blogger weirdness

Has anyone else besides myself been getting redirected to a Mega Site of Bible Studies and Information when trying to get to my blog? As far as I can tell, I've typed the address correctly but somehow I keep getting sent to this other site. Does anyone know if this is a fluke or an intentional thing (like hijacking my URL)? Is there something I can do about it?
