First Anniversary - August 16, 2005
To celebrate our first anniversary at Pisgah Family Health, Dr. Curran and the staff took a day off to test themselves on the Nantahala River, near Bryson City, NC.
Before the trip, fears were high. Most of us had never rafted before. However, with Dr. Curran as our guide, we all felt much safer.
Dr. Curran guided the raft through five miles of chilly whitewater, including the exciting Nantahala Falls. Tami and her son Cody were brave enough to swim in the chilly river, but everyone else chose to stay only soaking wet in the raft.
After the raft trip, we braved the 50-foot Alpine Tower at Nantahal Outdoor Center. Everyone made it to the top (and safely back down) by their own route.

Julie was very serious about her safety
Halfway up, the climbing got harder, and Julie dug in
Julie was relieved to be on level ground, even 30 feet up.

They made it all the way to the end

Afterwards we were tired but proud of our office's success.
