If you are a secret sharer, are they still secrets?

I don’t know the answer, but there are still some good ones around the New River Gorge.  Like, well, like how you can go white water rafting on the busiest day of the year and have the river to yourself (totally true; put on early or late- you’ll see.)

Sweet!

But what about for Memorial Day?  Let me give you some secrets about whitewater rafting in West Virginia on Memorial Day weekend:

#1: Raft on Friday or Monday. Less crowded and a lot less expensive: Half price Mondays: $47.50

#2: Stick around for lunch on Monday, we always have a cookout on the porch.

#3: It’s a great idea to add in another activity for your Saturday and Sunday. I would suggest a bike ride, horse back ride (don’t you just love the smell of a horse?), or climbing/rapelling on the tippy top of the 1,000 ft New River Gorge.

#4: Songer Olympics on Sunday afternoon: no training required. To put it simply, an obstacle course with teams of four. Rally your friends now!

#5: The Camping Package: we like simple and are sure that you like simple too, especially when it comes to planning logistics for you and your friends.  Package includes: two nights camping, country breakfast buffet, full day raft trip with lunch & BBQ chicken dinner.  We like making it easy for ya.  Use this package as a starting point and then add on any extras individuals might want: cabin, another breakfast, other activities.

#6: Live music at the High Water Lounge Saturday night (on site): 40 lb Snapper.  Get your party on!

So, those are the specials, the extras, the goodies.  But here’s the real secret:

Rafting on Memorial Day is way more fun than a cookout with your cousins.  Sorry, it had to be said
