And this past weekend the Compendium Blogware team gave the Lower Youghiogheny a try. The team building began on the 6 1/2 hour ride from Indianapolis to Ohiopyle; we traveled in-style aboard a 40 ft Entertaining RV. Saturday morning Wilderness Voyageurs set up a breakfast buffet and then we embarked on a day of high adventure. Team work on the river is a must - too many chiefs and no Indians will always fail - but without any trouble, we divided up into teams and successfully
navigated through the rapids. Beyond just rafting - we stopped at dimple rock rapid to watch the excitement of rafts maneuvering through the rocks, swam through Swimmers Rapid and jumped off of Jump Rock. Although all but two people fell out and a raft completely flipped over in Double Hydraulics - EVERYONE had a great time. After the trip we reminisced about the day over a great meal catered by The Firefly Grill and a few beers. Finally, we made our way to the Falls City Pub to listen to the musical delights of Wizdom, a reggae band from Pittsburgh.
Needless-to-say, our team is buzzing today with excitement of the weekend - telling and retelling stories of their experiences. You can feel a rejuvenated vibe in our office and a real sense of team. Everyone is already planning the next company outting - maybe we can include some kayak instruction next time?
