'John Wayne' by Andy Warhol
Wet, wily, whii
By LESLIE WALLER
Staff Adventurer
Are you having a boring summer in South
Carolina? Do you want to try something adventurous
in the few weeks before school begins?
If you answered yes to the above questions, I
have the answer: Whitewater rafting.
Whitewater rafting is a sport that has gained
a lot of publicity in recent years. It must have
been invented when someone realized sightseeing
in a canoe was too slow to be challenging
to anyone and kayaking down a river was too
dangerous for even an experienced vacationer.
Whitewater rafting, however, provides the
best of both worlds.
It provides the slow,steady pace of a canoe
with the quick, exhilreating ride of a kayak depenpending
on the turns and twists of the river.
Rafting is an experience you will never
forget because of the beautiful outdoor scenery.
The abundent wildlife, flowers and Whitewater
will give you an inneer sense of peace to match
the demanding physical challenge rafting will
give you.

The nearest Whitewater river is the Chatooga, ^
only three hours from Columbia. Located in ^
Little Creek, S.C., it served as the filming location
for the movie Deliverence and was dec- s<
lared a National Wild and Scenic River by Con- te
gress. In the past, it has been named one of Y
America's top 10 rivers for all sorts of water ai
sports, from rafting to water skiing and fishing, tli
A wide variety of half-day to two day rafting
trips on this river are available for all ages and b;
skill levels. Trips down Chatooga are mod- g<
erately priced and are scheduled daily March s^
through October. bi
Two other rivers, the Ocoee and the Nan- ol
tahla, are known to be exciting Whitewater rivers.
The Ocoee is located in Ducktown, Tenn. It je
offers five miles of big waves and continuous se
rapids, yet it is suitable for both beginners and
experienced rafters. te
