There are some really cool offices out there, it’s true. But our white water river office in West Virginia wins, destroys the competition, hands down, every time.
Let’s go on a tour.
Okay, time to go to work
Our Commute
The commute, granted, is a little tough. There’s never any traffic, but we do go down a lot of one lane, two way roads. In a school bus.
But, hey, we’re wearing helmets!
And yes, it can get a little windy and twisty on the way to the river, but it’s a beautiful ride, with plenty of waterfalls along the trip. And in the spring, plenty of flowers, too.
So that’s how we do our drive every morning. Our bus drivers are way way better than listening to the radio. And they all have licenses. Promise.
The Lobby
When we get to the river, there’s a little bit of work to be done. The guides inflate the rafts with air. We hand out the paddles. You get to meet and greet everyone on the trip.
This is also where we give instructions. It’s a lot of information we’ve gone over thousands of times, so you’ll get some pretty good (and a few very stale) jokes thrown in.
The staging area for the trip is a pretty exciting place to be. You’re ready to go, we’re ready to go (the bus drivers are definitely ready to go), soooooo….
Let’s go.
The Office
As soon as we leave the road, you’re going to notice one thing: the view.
It changes as we go down the river of course. And on both the rivers we run, the New and the Gauley, the view gets better the farther downstream we get.
And, someone changes the wallpaper every fall and every spring (no charge!)
We do have a bit of a, um, dampness problem. Generally, though, we don’t consider it too much trouble. And, to tell the truth, the wetter the better. In fact, we look forward to getting flooded every year- right about now, in the spring, actually.
(Okay, that metaphor is a bit of a stretch. But just go with it, okay?)
So that’s the tour. In text form, anyway. Book a trip, and we’ll show you the real thing.
Be warned, though: our office is so nice, we’ve had several people quit their own jobs because of it, and come to work for us.
Just sayin’.
