Our Whitewater Adventure

Some of the Rapids near the end of the Trip


Our guide friend Rich (white shirt), Abby (pink), Micah (chowin down doritos), and myself


Some other rafters that we followed down the river

Yesterday we went rafting down the Snake River near Hagerman, ID. We went with our friends Mike and Abby, as well as, some new ones; Rich, Candi and Micah. Rich was our guide which we were all right with until he told us he had never actually guided on this stretch of the river and never guided the type of raft that we were using. However, we did pretty well considering half of the party were noobies. Micah was the only one to fall out, even though most of us had instances where we thought we were goners. We took the seats out of the center of the raft and stradled the sides with one leg in the water to paddle better. However, Amanda learned that next time it would be better if she did not put lotion on her legs prior to going. She was sliding all over. Our pictures are pretty poor because it is dang near impossible to take pictures while going down the river. Regardless, it was loads of fun and we are already planning on taking a trip up north of Boise on some tougher rapids.
