Alert! The New River is Rising!

Wednesday, August 18th, 2010

You like surprises? Good, ’cause we have one for you!

It rained south of us. A lot. Remember how the New River flows North? Well that means we have water on the way.

New River Big Water Rafting

The river is expected to be up to 2 ft by tomorrow morning, Thursday August 19th.  This is an awesome summer level for whitewater rafting. Two feet = big smiles.

Ah . . . warm water. Check. Sunshine. Check. Big waves. Check.

How Do We Know?
You trust us right? Did you know Songerville is home to the local Master Water Forecaster? (Say that 5 times fast)

Len Hanger has been chasing water all of his adult life. He communicates on the industries behalf with the Army Corp. of Engineers for high water river management and then alerts all the whitewater outfitters on what he feels is going to happen. He’s the man.

But wait! It gets better! (Say it aloud in your best infomercial-guy voice)
Coincidentally, Thursdays are $20 bucks off, we like to call them Thrillin’ Thursdays.

So, if you’re close by (say you live in Charleston,) or if you’re headed to the West Virginia State Fair you should give us a call (and bring us a funnel cake).

But wait! There’s more!
Want to know another great thing about this recent rain? The great river levels will be here through the weekend.

This just in from the Songerville Accu-weather desk….
We are expecting the rain to skedaddle by tomorrow with the sun moving in for the weekend. (check it for yourself: songer weather)

So give us a call and head to Songerville for some fun…and don’t forget my funnel cake!
