Since I'm heading north toward Maine today on a white water rafting trip down the Penobscot River, I figured I'd post my white water rafting patch. If I had written my collection development policy to collect a patch each time I visited the same place, I'd have probably 8 of these patches. The Nantahala River is a class 4 river in North Carolina that I've rafted several times with my family - a few times in the large raft and a couple times in a single person duckie.
The most memorable time that I rafted this river was when we took my then 68-70 year old grandparents. By the end of the trip, my grandmother (mamaw in Mississippi speak) had been lying down on the floor of the raft the entire time, and my grandfather (papaw) had thought that the goal had been to paddle away from the rapids! Needless to say, it was a pretty anxiety-filled trip down the river for me, but I'll never forget it!
I've got my fingers crossed that the folks at the Penobscot River rafting have a patch...
