Whitewater Rafting on the Youghiogheny River

In the morning we drove to Ohiopyle, PA from Morgantown, and after taking care of some logistics (mainly Tre's effort), we got on the Youghiogheny River in a raft. Tre' has some friends who are river guides, and he has been down this river many times before. So he was acting our guide for the trip. Megan has done whitewater kayaking and river guiding back in Australia. So I was the greenhorn in our three-person raft. However, the water was low, and even though there were class-III sections on the river, with Tre' steering, Megan and I paddling like crazy, we made it down the river in good time with no incidents at all.
