If you look closely, you will notice the raft is being wrecklessly driven by a group of raft guides (from another company) upside down. The dangling straps and angle of the rocker on the raft when upside down set this up to be almost inevitable under these circumstances. This would not be something the general public would be exposed to, certainly not on one of our trips. Since this type of information and visual reaches all sorts via the web, such as concerned parents and group leaders, I feel it is important to realize this video is not the typical experience on the Chattooga or at Bull Sluice. That being said, the river is a serious river with many hazards as you experienced during your time here. Having someone with you that knows the dangers is critical. I too have had my "close calls" testing my limits on the Chattooga. <br /><br />This coming year is our 40th Anniversary of serving the Chattooga (as the first professional outfitter providing guide services on the river.) I invite you and your family to join us if you would be interested in sharing your stories from the early 70's with ours of the same period and beyond. We are celebrating in May. Always good to see your comments on your experiences on the Chattooga! Jeff Greiner (wjgreiner@aol.com)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
