NRO IS THE SHIT!
they still got that tree swing? I spent hours on end on that fucking thing. It swings out into the river.
edit*
do they still cart you upstream for floats.... I saw ones on the site where they pick you up by 6pm or someshit. back when I went down there they used to take you upstream so you could come back at your own pace and then arrive at camp ... even after dark sometimes on longer trips.
it looked kinda like they nixed that shit
