It was the first time i have ever been white water rafting. I feel in love with it. Im a paramedic in alabama i was wondering if they recognize paramedics? or is that training pretty much useless? Cause i would love to be on the river next summer as i guide, since im back in school. Any information would be helpfull I was acually on the Ocoee today.

By coincidence, I actually began guide training in British Columbia a few days after this article was published. I flew over from Australia to pursue this line of work, and it was absolutely worth it. I'm currently typing up my travel journal at http://papertrailtramp.wordpress.com/, in which I'm describing the training process, the work, and the lifestyle in some detail. Feel free to have a read.

I have been down the nantalahala river in north carolina I want to say at east 4 times now. One of those times in a Double Ducky. I have also been in the upper and middle ocoee.

My life is actually quite similar. Weekdays I work for an online broker and weekends - during the season - I am to be found rafting the Vorderrhein in Switzerland for the local kayak school / raft company. I wouldn't miss it for anything and I'm actually working on extending my time on the river and/or decreasing my time in the office. Good stuff! Joe is doing the right thing.
