Such a great adventure, hilariously funny, informative, and well written. I enjoyed reliving it a second time, And put it on my bucket list. Although, based on your experience, will be certain to allow more than three days! 😂

Tourists are constantly at the mercy of the local natives. Our family went on a white-water rafting expedition on the New River at Ohiopyle before GPS was readily available. Upon entering town, I rolled down the station wagon window and asked two locals sitting on the curb where our outfitters might be. They gave us some “go straight, turn 2nd left, then first right” directions. I thanked them and as we were pulling away, I saw in my rear-view mirror that they were howling in laughter and slapping their thigh with glee. “That does it,” said I. We took the opposite turns and promptly ended up at our outfitters.
