AWESOME! My last Whitewater rafting trip involved an inexperienced Guide, no wet suit and hypothermia. So glad yours went well😀

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

Oh no lol jay was froze by the end but not like that

[@standupforgood7810]

I suggest that you all go again very soon. Hartford was flooded complete. Water was up to the awning of the BP and they could use all the support they can muster. See you there soon.

Been rafting, tubing, and white water canoeing most of my life. I can highly recommend it. As Eric said, it can be both exhilarating and calming in the same trip. It really is a blast.

[@valleygirl8973]

[@LongDogRoadie]

Quick question. We're doing this next week. I was planning on taking my GoPro and maybe attaching to the helmet (not sure if they would allow that). How did you film?

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

They have helmets with go pro attachments there all you have to do is ask for one

[@LongDogRoadie]

@@SmokyMountainFamily❤ Perfect. Thanks so much for getting back to me. Have a great weekend and Happy Father's Day.
