High Adventure in the New River Gorge

We got to go to the New River Gorge (Jared's second time this year!) as part of the high adventure trip. It was a quick overnight - we got in Friday evening, ate pizza and hung out together including a short devotional. The campground area was nice and surprisingly quiet!


We started the day with some yummy breakfast at the lodge, including plenty of delicious bacon! After that, we went over to the high ropes course. The high ropes course was awesome! There were quite a few different courses and obstacles, and we split up pretty quickly and spread out all over the course.

After finishing there, we went to the New River for a float trip. The New River was a little bigger than the Snake River in Idaho. A minute after leaving, the very first obstacle, a rock that we back into and spin off of, nearly threw Luke, which made for a fun conversation for the duration of the float! We had swim time, float time, and some fun rapids. There were a couple good paddlers and mostly not good paddlers (ahem... Luke!) - it was pretty funny and a lot of fun to be with Jacob and the rest of the young men.
