Welcome back Bobby (or should that be sorry you're back again?)

I see 38 of your pages in Google, but for some reason contents of your home page have dropped out of Google and it is indicated as only partially indexed with nothing in the cache for that page.

I do see you at #12 in Google and #6 in Yahoo for Whitewater rafting Nantahala River which is the phrase your home page seems to be optimized for, though I seem to remember that you liked the term whitewater rafting Ocoee river.

You can verify that your page is missing by searching Google for cache:http://www.rollingriverthunderco.com

I can see no reason that your page should be missing, unless you happened to have a server down when Googlebot came to call.
Wouldn't hurt to submit your page to the Google add url page.

Your home page does not seem to me to be well optimized for white water rafting nantahala river or white water rafting ocoee rive, it seems to concentrate more on Rolling thunder river company and sure enough even with your home page contents missing you rank #1 in google for that term with 84,000 results returned.

Your pages may have been considered new when they finally got spidered, and google sometimes gives a temporary raning boost for new pages, which are then assigned a more permanent ranking at the next up date which just occured a few days ago.

You may not be aware that yahoo switched over from Google results to its own search engine a few days ago and you have only 1 page in that index which serves both Yahoo and MSN or about 35% of the search market. Your optimization company should get your pages indexed there or you should consider paying for placement of a few of your most important pages there.
