Sometimes a picture really IS worth a thousand words. Especially when it's midnight, you're squirreled away inside the Laurel Oasis Travel Plaza in Laurel, Delaware, sucking up wifi while some deeply shady miscreants watch football across the room while debating whether or not you'd put up too big a fight to make it worth the trouble when they try to shove you in their license plate-less white rental van out in the parking lot. Okay, maybe I'm being a BIT dramatic, but it's late, I'm exhausted and I have to be up at 8 tomorrow morning to go hiking. There is no way I can effectively string together a sentence describing my experience rafting the Gauley tonight so instead, here are some killer pictures. I gently encourage you to check out MY TOTALLY RIPPED RIGHT ARM IN THAT FIRST PHOTO. It would be epically badass if not for the image following it, which kind of negates the whole effect - you know, the one of me getting face-hugged by a giant freaking wave.

XD face hugged. Hahahahahaha

Anyway, Astro, how did it feel to take on a river and win? And not just a river, but *the* river? You go sleep. We'll still be here tomorrow.

When I heard you were working alone at night at a truck stop just to get wifi, I wanted to write my ownvpost, using this example to help tourism PR folks help their clients understand, like it or not, our rooms are our offices and a) we can't WORK without wifi and b) we are not on vacation when we come to visit.

Now, about your awesome river run. I AM SO OROUD OF YOUR COURAGE AND TENACITY!!

I can not wait to visit the gleesonreboots bog, it has been preparing and giving us about river wild always. The trouble across the interesting sentence to encourage pictures for more sharing better following images.
