| Description: | The Pillow "Big Splat": Not only is this Ben, Neil and Gary's first time for "Big Water" and the first time in a small raft, but it is also their first time rafting at all. What a way to get introduced to the sport by doing the Gauley Marathon on the Gauley Fest Fall water release. Here they are getting introduced, up front and personal, with Pillow Rock via the "Pillow Splat" line. Looks like a perfect line. Just missed catching Gary hugging Pillow Rock which probably saved the entire crew from going swimming and being flushed down the "Toilet Bowl" below. Great job "newbies". Well almost - they did go team swimming later on at Iron Ring, and not by choice. All three are ready to go again and only in a small raft. Thanks guide Marty. | |||
