4 Things You May Not Know About the Gauley River

The Gauley River. We love it. We know many of you do too. If you have rafted the Gauley River, there are many things you do know. It’s big, it’s fun…frankly, it’s the “awesomesauce” (as the kids might say). With all that you likely do know about the Gauley River. I thought it might be […]

4 Reasons You Shouldn’t Choose Us for Your Corporate Meeting (And 5 Why You Should!)

Corporate meetings. Everyone has them from time to time. Not many actually enjoy them. Lots of time sitting in a chair, plenty of artificial light and often terrible catered-in food. Face it, the thought of another corporate meeting is painful. Know what’s even more painful? Planning them. The logistics, the meeting space, the food, activities. […]

Feed Me! Where to Eat After a Gauley River Trip

When I finish a river trip, it seems as if my belly is the stage for a production of “Little Shop of Horrors”. “Feed me Seymour!” Feeding the Beast At “Home” One of the reason many choose a rental cabin over a hotel is so you can cook at “home”. Or at least your home […]

A Hole in Our Map?

Take a quick peek at the map. What do you see? Or, more importantly, what don’t you see? While I love riddles and trick questions, this isn’t one. There is an explanation. The image displays levels of light pollution on the East Coast. The brighter the color, you guessed it, the more light. You will […]

4 Ways to Enjoy the Fall Colors in the New River Gorge

My favorite time of year? It’s hands down. Fall. Since childhood, the anticipation of fall has excited me. It’s quite simply the best time of year to be outside. Cooler Temperatures Clear Blue Skies Leaves Changing Color Football Season “sweatshirt weather” Hunting Season Fresh Apple Pie (I Like Pie) Need I say more? No, but […]

Some Don’t Like Our Name, But We Love It (And Hope You Do Too)

The name of a business is important. Right? It should tell you a lot, with a little. It should give you an idea of what a company does, where it might be and all that good stuff. Some business names are great, some aren’t. Check that. Some belong in the “What the hell where you […]

It’s Gauley River Time. You Know, That One.

Holy. Moly.  I know I’ve got rental cabins and everything, but it’s Gauley Season. You know the river I’m talking about?  On of the 10 best white water rafting rivers in the world?  With more than 100 rapids on it?  And 5 (some people say 6) Class V rapids in between all those other ones? […]

How To Catch A New River Gorge Firefly

I grew up in the suburbs of Philadelphia.  Bucks County to be specific.  Far, far away (or so I thought) from a vacation cabin in the New River Gorge region of West Virginia. I was definitely not the city streets, but not nearly as rural as here in New River Country, either. When I was […]

I Was Invited To The Greenbrier Classic (But I Did Cabin Rentals Instead)

Free Greenbrier Classic PGA Tour tickets for me? Really?  Why, I would love to.  But I can’t. Thank you, though. I had to repeat that a few times last week. What was I thinking?! I should have dropped everything on the to do list at our rental cabins to be at there. Do over please? It […]
