All right, so the creek we ran has probably been run before, but it was a first descent for New River Academy, just as this whole trip is a first descent for our group.  The unique mountain scape surrounding our camp site is a blissful backdrop to the dazzling rivers teeming past. Every where you look there is another creek, another drop, just waiting for the colorful lumps of plastic to float down its surface.  There are not enough words in our language to describe how marvelous this place is, so, and I believe I speak for all of the students here when I say, thank you parents for sending us to such an enchanting land!  We could have never done this without you!
