Thoughts of Thanksgiving
2009/11/16As Thanksgiving rapidly approaches and I realize that rafting season has been over for an entire month, I can say that I am now recovered from the crash that comes after the high-energy atmosphere that drives us through Gauley season is gone. This time of year motivates me to look back at the past 11 seasons that I’ve worked at Extreme Expeditions / River Expeditions and take stock of all the things for which I am thankful.
One thing that I’m thankful for is the extended family that I’ve found at the company. Here at River Expeditions, we are so much more than co-workers. Over the years, I’ve had the chance to form close bonds with so many special people, and have acquired pseudo- mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, and kids. We care about each other here, and those relationships translate into a pleasant working atmosphere. I’m convinced that this is one of the many things that make River Expeditions such a special place not only to work, but also to come visit as our guest.
I’m also thankful to live in such a beautiful slice of paradise. Every time I step out my front door, I am amazed that there exists such amazing scenery right in my backyard – especially at this time of year, when the hills are a mosaic of oranges, reds, yellows, and greens. One of my favorite things at the company is to meet “city folk” who have never seen anything like what they encounter when they come to our state. And of course, I’m thankful for the rivers that afford us opportunities to work and play in an atmosphere we love so much. They don’t call it “Wild and Wonderful West Virginia” for nothing…
Finally, I am thankful for the scores of interesting, kind, fun-loving people that I have had the opportunity to meet. Rafters are a special breed of people and it is absolutely my pleasure to interact with each of you and to do whatever I can to make your vacation special. I am already looking forward to April, when our season begins, and I will get see old friends again as well as make new ones! Until then…
Love & Blessings, KP

Just wanted to thank you and the staff at River Expeditions for a great time during our recent rafting trip. We booked our trip with Extreme Expeditions at the Cleveland Outdoorsman Show. We had no idea what to expect not knowing that much about the company; but we were impressed with the treatment we received at the show. The minute we checked in, which was late Friday night, the staff was pleasant, friendly and accommodating. The lodging accommodations and meals were excellent. When we checked in Saturday morning for rafting, the staff was immediately there to greet us and made us feel welcome. The staff was friendly, motivated and quick to answer questions, we knew that we were going to have a great time. I was impressed with the knowledge of the guides, as well as their concern for our safety and us having a good time. Again thank you for a great time, the warm West Virginia hospitality, and the personalized service we received during our rafting trip.Rebecca and Mark Baciak
