$99 for One-Day, Two-Night Rafting Trip on the New River from River Expeditions in Oak Hill (Up to $200 Value)
White-water rafting combines tranquil views of breathtaking scenery punctuated by moments of sheer terror, similar to watching a nature show while being shot at by hunters. Surrender to adventure with today’s Groupon: for $99, you get a one-day, two-night rafting and camping excursion on the Lower New River (up to a $155 value) and a souvenir photo CD (a $45 value) from River Expeditions in Oak Hill, West Virginia, about a three- to four-hour drive from Pittsburgh (up to a $200 total value). This deal is valid for participants age 12 and older. Since 1972, River Expeditions has tamed West Virginia’s wild waters, blazing aquatrails along the New and Gauley rivers. Do battle with the watery forces of Mother Nature on the Lower New River rafting trip , which explores a stretch of tumultuous National Park Service–protected rapids. An expert river guide trained in CPR and first aid leads each group, using a seventh sense for the river’s history to point out eye-pleasers such as naturally carved canyons and the highest vehicular bridge in America. The river ranges from Class II to Class V levels of difficulty, with patches of challenging rapids slowing into calm pools, during which paddlers can relax or write love letters for delivery by carrier pigeon. After a full day of paddling, lay under the starry night and woo companions with knowledge of river-rafting-themed constellations, such as Thor’s Paddle and Could Be a Rock. The trip leaves from River Expeditions’ headquarters, about four miles southwest of the famous New River Gorge Bridge. All meals and beverages are provided; guests can bring a tent, sleeping bag, and pillow, or rent them for an additional price for their stay at the base camp. After the trip, guests will receive a photo CD compiling notable moments from the trip, allowing endless revisiting of daredevil sea-monster captures. Reservations for this deal must be made by 8/31/11, but excursions may be scheduled beyond this date.

Spider-Vein Therapies at Advanced Vein Center. Choose Between Two Options.
Rejuvenating skin treatments can make one look years younger, making it possible to earn a spot on a tee-ball team or to tag along with the neighborhood’s gang of loveable scamps. Relive your skin’s childhood with today’s Groupon to Advanced Vein Center . Choose between two options: For $149, you get three laser spider-vein treatments (up to a $1,050 value). For $59, you get two compression stockings (up to a $299 value). Advanced Vein Center offers a range of treatments to demolish problematic blood corridors. Usually a cosmetic problem, but sometimes indicative of more serious vein disease, spider veins are tiny red or purple patterns just below the skin’s surface caused by dilated blood vessels, though they’re often mistaken for the work of tattoo artists with short attention spans. A consultation with a registered vascular technician includes an ultrasound to determine the condition of subsurface veins. The outpatient laser-vein treatment uses pulsed light to heat the vein wall, causing the vein to shrink and close up shop, with patients experiencing minimal or no downtime. Or opt for compression stockings , which enhance circulation by preventing blood from pooling in legs or lounging in exclusive toe resorts. Compression stockings can complement vein-treatment procedures, serve as independent preventative care, or provide space-efficient holiday gift storage.
