I hope that people who attend these special events will take a few pictures for our Photo Forum so others can enjoy what goes on there too. ::
I had the honor and privilege of participating with them during the "Eastern Legacy" last year. I floated with them for 2 weeks on the Ohio. I floated the entire state of WV. It was a once in a lifetime experience. They are a great bunch of guys. I would highly recommend visiting them.
