River Riders Christmas

The holiday season is coming to an end & things around here are getting back to normal. I hope everyone had a nice, relaxing vacation this year. Winter is still here - I can tell this because it's still cold, but where's the snow? I had to travel all the way to Utah 2 weeks ago just to see some. It was great though, snowboarding for a few days! Here in Harpers Ferry it seems that we've been having some great river levels for those extreme white water enthusiasts. The Potomac was up close to 7.5 feet & the Shenandoah was around 3.3 feet this month.

River Riders had it's annual Christmas Dinner on Thursday, Dec 19th. That was a night of fun times & heartfelt sharing of memories over the past years. This past season was my first season at River Riders, but it's great to be part of such an awesome family. And that's what River Riders is - a family. Everyone is always there for each other & work just doesn't feel like work. A lot of people, once they start working at River Riders, stay here for many years - who would want to leave?

Well other than that, we're doing a lot of planning for next season at River Riders. There's going to be a lot of great things coming soon! I can't wait for the season to start up... I miss the busy summer days here as well as getting to go kayking. Well, that's it for now!
