    Great Smoky Mountains 之行——第三天及后记

    这一天的主要活动就是rafting。由于自己还要赶回Cincinnati赶晚上7点回Columbus的班车,造成大家原先的计划很紧张,别人受罪,自己也玩不好。之前应该买9点的票的,太笨了。L最后建议玩还是正常,赶不上车再说;想了想只能这么办吧,出来一次总不能让人生不完整。

     

    Local似乎只有一家经营rafting的公司——Whitewater,可以打电话或网上预约(住Holiday Inn的还有9刀优惠)。在出发前还要记得去超市(local的就行)买一双专门用于水上运动的水鞋(易透水、易干、防滑),这是rafting必备。

     

    整个rafting的行程如下:开车到山脚check-in,分配一个guideblablabla一堆注意事项,穿上救生衣,带上桨,然后坐一大巴上山。在guide的带领下,我们一共是6人乘一橡皮艇(我们四个加两个老美,后来才知道他们是trainee)。一路上除了听guide热心的bg,应付忽如起来的大雨,还得面对一系列险象环生的刺激。L同学最先掉水里——btw,这位同学一向与众不同:假设大家都掉水里,他肯定掉不了, vice versaX被大家抓住没下去。其实在水流湍急之处,大家都是一身湿,跟掉下去也没两样。中途有一次,guide自己掉下去了,不过经验丰富的他立马就爬上橡皮艇,不像大伙这么费劲。后来到了下游,水势也平缓了,大家纷纷下水畅游一番,反正有救生衣嘛。这位guide还真是nice,上岸后我们还他合影了;人家也生活也不易,估计全靠tips过活。

     

    简单洗浴一下就启程回家了。这一次终于让我无耻地过了一把长途飙车瘾,就非常抱歉地让LXZ三位同学多担待了。80 miles per hour,一路向北。人算不如天算,眼看就能赶得上7点的车了,结果先miss了一个exit,然后莫名其妙来了一场大雨。总之,赶不上了。L提议就先在Cincinnati吃饭,我也就忝列其中了。选了一家后来证明是美式中餐的饭馆,应付了一顿,我又做了一次错误的选择。之后就跟LXZ88,一个人等9点的车。大概11点到的Columbus,感谢WP在百忙之中抽空在瓢泼大雨中送我回家。

     

    后记:流水帐到此记完,近期实在太忙,越写越觉得是在应付了事,谁叫自己当初决定要写呢?不写写,这流水般的年华就这么无声无息地溜走却只留下几张照片。好歹有始有终,以后有空再贴几个patch吧。
