Chris Lawrence marks opening day of squirrel season with a full hour alongside Dave Arnold, co-founder of Class VI River Runners — which became Adventures on the Gorge — and one of the pioneers of the commercial whitewater rafting industry in West Virginia. Arnold traces the history of Gauley Season from its scrappy origins in a 1956 Safeway trailer to the congressional legislation championed by Congressman Nick Rahall that made downstream recreation an official project purpose of Summersville Dam, securing the annual fall water releases that now draw rafters from around the world. He also shares the inside story of the New River Gorge's elevation from national river to national park and preserve in 2020 — crediting Senators Capito and Manchin — and explains how the preserve designation protected hunting rights that nearly derailed the effort. The conversation also covers fishing on the Gauley's flat water below Swift, the economic boom across Fayetteville, Hinton, and surrounding communities, and Arnold's observation that the National Park designation benefited local towns more than the rafting industry itself.
