Whitewater Weekend: Mountaineers enjoy their sport of the year Annually West Virginians gather along the South Branch of the Potomac River from Mouth of Seneca to Smoke Hole Caverns to watch kayak racers in Whitewater Weekend competition each spring. Jef Huey, a former FSC student, finished in first place in the 1 977 Whitewater Weekend. The event draws crowds of hundreds to compete or to sit on the banks of the treacherous course. TOP: A spectator sits on a rock in the South Branch of Potomac River awaiting the start of the Kayak races. BOTTOM: Teammates must concentrate on balance and speed as they battle the rapids.

Swinging bridges falling down . . . . . falling down, falling down. LEFT: A swinging bridge in rural West Virginia. BELOW: Probably due to a spring flood, this bridge is no longer used. The dewdrops from the ground ' s tiny foilage dampened the bottoms of my jeans and left spots on my leather shoes. The cautious cardinal chirped loudly on that day and, sure, he ' d still be singing in July, but he seemed louder in March when the tormentingly cruel winter had finally ceded to spring an d the fittest had survived. Even the dogwood blossoms seemed most beautiful then. In October, when West Virginia ' s hillsides become autumn ' s canvas and explode into hues of yellow, orange, red and brown, I still remember spring ' s reds and yellows and blues and whites and greens topped by a fresh breeze. West Virginia in January is a winter wonderland with her crisp, fresh, minty air, but the warmth of the sun in April is more inviting. Springtime in West Virginia is freshly thawed streams running cool and wild, the mighty black bear retreating from his winter snooze, and the towering sugar maple donning unfaded green leaves — all returning to life. Nature sings the praises of springtime in West Virginia. ' -. • V, - ♦
