There's already a topic for this here...
http://www.nyfalls.com/board/viewtopic. ... er+rafting
...but I figured this would be a more appropriate place for this thread.

Every year I organize a whitewater rafting trip to Letchworth State Park the first Saturday in May. (May 1st this year) There's usually 15-20 of us who go. I'd like to invite all active members of the nyfalls.com community as well. Matt came along one year, and survived. :) It’s Class II rapids. (meaning nothing dangerous... but a lot of fun!) The cost is $30 for the trip, and an optional $7 cost for a wetsuit. (no one will think you’re a wuss if you wear a wetsuit.) :) If you’ve never rafted before, everything you need to know is on the Adventure Calls website. www.adventure-calls.com If you're interested or have any questions, feel free to send me a PM.

May 1st is my Grandson's birthday so I'm out. I have done it before and I can attest to the fact that it is a lot of fun. I've also used the kayaks there and that too is fun. If you've never done the rapids at Letchworth you really should give it a try. :drown:

If I can switch my weekend with my daughter...count me in! I've always wanted to raft!

I can't commit now... some family thing... but I'm not sure of the date. I did do this before and it was a blast.

Kyle & Matt... are you guys still "maybes" on this or do you know either way yet? Just wondering.

Still a maybe here. Need to confirm something with the family and I may not be able to do that until I get back from my trip.

Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be able to make it I already need to switch around my weekend for Memorial Day and am sure the ex will not be too kind to that. However, is there a cut off date that you need to know by? Maybe I could flop my weekends for that month....maybe.

Actually... you could let me know the day before. I'd prefer you didn't wait that long though. The sooner the better. It's easier to plan the sooner I know who's in and who's out. :)
