The following is a list, one per line, of companies who run whitewater expeditions at various places around the country. Additions and corrections to the list are welcome, via MAIL, please. An updated, corrected, and generally revised list will be posted sometime in the future. My particular recommendation is for Mountain River Tours in West Viriginia; I've rafted the New with them several times, and they've always been accomodating, helpful, and a lot of fun. Ask for Dee; tell her the Purdue GSP's sent you.
