    Excellent job on narrating this with clear and crisp (and, uh, fluid [pun? yes] comments. I found the narrator gives praise when warranted and doesn't when not. The narrator is obviously knowledgeable about not only this part of the river but the fellow pros who run them. Many are identified by their first name. No hype, no vulgarity - by an adult for adults. In brief, well done! (P.S. I've been a "passenger" on five and six-person rafts on the Upper Gauley on three trips, vastly enjoyed every one (even the flips), and have the highest respect for the skills and experience of all the guides who made it possible for this Midwesterner from the Prairie State and some of his friends to have these fun experiences.)
    Those who do good work should be acknowledged. Things don't just happen. For example, praise is also due to whomever proposed, planned, funded, and made possible these exciting experiences on the Gauley every September and October. This includes Federal, state, and government employees, elected officials, business persons, whitewater recreation people - anyone who contributed. I thank them.

    What's that fence above Energizer? I don't recall that, though it's been 2 years since I've been on the Gauley.
