Once again, ACE Adventure Resort hosted its Fourth of July Blob Big Air Contest in West Virginia, and once again the contestants delivered some spectacular launches. Gathered on the ACE Lake's sandy white beach, the crowd got to enjoy a different variety of Independence Day fireworks. This year's competition had 40 teams! Be sure to plan a West Virginia whitewater rafting vacation next year for July 4 at ACE, so you, and your family and friends can experience the fun too.

Last year, friends of mine, Cody and Bill, won the first ever ACE Blob Big Air Contest. Unfortunately, I was not present to see the festivities but the video of it on our website is my favorite.

So when this year’s competition rolled around, and I was asked to take pictures at the event, I was thrilled. We had been promoting the event on our Facebook and Twitter accounts but had no idea how great the response would be.

If you haven’t heard, the 2nd Annual Fourth of July Blob Big Air Contest is just around the corner. It will take place on the ACE Lake using the big inflated blob toy.

As one of the judges last year, I was lucky enough to get front row seats. It was quite the spectacle. Even if you aren’t much for being launched, or perhaps not weighty enough to be a launcher, watching the event live is definitely worth your time.

Cat Mitchell and I went to Washington D.C. as ACE representatives at Capital Pride on Sunday, June 13, 2010, and we had a blast. Some basic info: Capital Pride is the fourth largest celebration in the country honoring the LGBT community – Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender.

We were there with 249,998 of our closest friends. A very intimate affair. (I just need to say it was 90-plus degrees with 100 percent humidity. Yikes.)

You know how there are some people who can make the best of any situation?
 They seem to always be able to make lemonade even if the whole tree falls
 on their car?

Well the other day at ACE it rained. 

You can see the importance of making lemonade. I was spending my day off
 sitting at my laptop at the Big Top (trip check-in).

Video: Thursday Night Group Ride Is Back!

The mountain bikers that live around here in the wintertime usually get to boast that we can ride year round. This year we couldn't say that. In fact, for about four months I couldn't definitively tell you if the trails were still there under all that snow. Fortunately, this spring has been a good one and our playground is back.

ACE has devoted a lot of effort to the maintenance of their trail system this season and the trails are looking as good as I have seen them in years. If you saw them this spring, you'll know this is a major accomplishment for the riders around here.

Kids' Camp Time Approaches At ACE

Posted by: Julia in West Virginia, New River, Kids' Camp, Blob, Bear Den, ACE Lake, ACE Adventure Resort on Apr 20, 2010

Kids. They're loud and act like they've knocked back seven of those five-hour energy shots, but an upside to little ones is they let me maintain my dignity and credibility when we play Candy Land.

I'm actually older than I look, so I'm at that point in life when all of my friends are getting married and having kids. I keep telling them they need to come out on vacation to ACE to see me, but they don't want to leave little Owen or Tyler at home. Luckily, I've been able to convince some of my friends to start planning trips because of two beautiful words, Kids' Camp.
