Seriously, though? Not all it's cracked up to be, unless you plan it *just* right. Too much, um, chance for error.
White water rafting, on the other hand, is exactly what it's cracked up to be. Wet, cold, scary, and tons of fun. PA has very good white water-not too much, not too little-at Youghiogheny State Park. In addition, you can go see Fallingwater, which I totally recommend.
And step-parent totally counts.
