点评:Ran the Upper Gauley with Mason this year. This is the second year that I've done an Upper Gauley trip with these folks and they've killed it each time. In my experience, the guides at NRA will make sure that you have the most fun on the river as possible while keeping you safe. They're clear and concise when giving direction while maintaining a calming yet serious presence to get through the more dangerous sections of river. The guides here demonstrate enough character while you're in the raft with them that as soon as you fall out and life begins flashing before your eyes - you remember you're in good hands and that trusting your guide will keep you alive. Mason made everyone in our raft feel like we were homies with him and the other NRA boat on the water with us, despite us being a few of the many faces he probably sees every year. You don't feel like a 'client,' when you're with these guys - you just feel like another West Virginia water hippie that's part of the crew out there having a good time.
I would highly recommend booking your trip with New & Gauley River Adventures. I haven't booked with the 'resorts' or other big commercial companies out on the Gauley before but I don't feel any reason to. Huge thanks to Mason for making the most of our trip. Give that guy a raise.
翻译:今年和梅森一起漂流了上高利河。这是我第二次和他们一起漂流,每次都游得非常愉快。根据我的经验,NRA 的导游会确保你在河上玩得尽兴,同时保证你的安全。他们指引方向清晰简洁,同时保持着冷静而严肃的态度,让你能够顺利通过较为危险的河段。当你和他们一起漂流时,他们的导游们展现出十足的个性,即使你掉下去,眼前闪过生命危险,你也会记得自己在可靠的人手中,相信你的导游会让你活下来。梅森让我们漂流筏上的每个人都感觉像个好朋友,和他以及另一艘 NRA 的船一起漂流,尽管我们只是他每年都会见到的众多面孔中的几个。和这些人在一起,你不会觉得自己像个“顾客”,你只会觉得自己像个西弗吉尼亚的水上嬉皮士,是船员中的一员,正在享受美好的时光。
我强烈推荐你通过 New & Gauley River Adventures 预订行程。我之前没在 Gauley 的“度假村”或其他大型商业公司预订过,但现在我觉得没必要这么做了。非常感谢 Mason 让我们的行程更加充实。给他加薪吧。
