Abstract
It Wasn't That Fun But It Was Better Than Being Dead is a collection of stories chronicling the antics of a small whitewater rafting company located in western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee. The primary perspective comes from Toemas, a younger guide who falls into the job after a felony drug record hinders employment elsewhere.
