River Rafting in West Virginia

It’s always nice to getaway for a couple days, but it’s even better to get back home.  This week we visited some other rafting outfitters in PA, so the trip was technically billed as ‘research and development’.  We like to check out the competition, so to speak, and get new ideas for improvements to our own basecamp and outfitters store.  I’m happy to report that we’re ahead of the curve in most aspects, but may consider carrying more river/hiking/camping gear in our store in the future – feel free to submit your feedback/suggestions for improvement.

 Upon a friend’s recommendation (always a deciding factor in trip planning) we based out of a great property about half an hour from Morgantown, complete with a butler, golf caddy and lots of ‘diamonds’ in their ratings for hospitality/service and food.  (What girl doesn’t like diamonds, right?!)  It was a lovely experience and here we garnered an even greater understanding of guest services.

 When leisure time is so precious, I won’t take chances in sacrificing quality for cost.  This is often what I relate to our own guests who have found a ‘cheaper rate’ for their rafting adventure.  I simply remind them that often you get what you pay for, as the old adage goes.  So, for vacation planning, I recommend to always trust your instincts, consider recommendations of friends/family and get as much information as you can in order to make a fair comparison.  Now, go enjoy the rest of your summer vacation!
