7-20-08: Whitewater Rafting on the Salmon River

On Sunday July 20th, Adam and I went on a rafting trip down on the Salmon River near Riggins, Idaho (about 2 hours from Lewiston). We were on the river for about 6 hours including a break for lunch and travelled 20 miles.



Here are some of the pictures I took before and after the raft trip (didn't want to risk losing my camera in the river, so it stayed in the car - no worries though, link to professional pics below).




Here's me and Adam when we first arrived.


Here's a shot of the Lucille Boat Ramp with all the boats after we were done.

Here's a shot of our fearless group - me & Adam Joe & Angie, Gina & her friend Nicki, and Owie, the Seuberts former exchange student from Denmark who was visiting.

Luckily, there's a professional outfit that takes pictures of all the rafters as they go through the "time zone" rapid - he stands on the bridge above that is the line between the Pacific and Mountain time zones.

Here's the link: http://www.shutterfly.com/progal/album.jsp?aid=768a5498cf43fac7a5bf. Our pictures start on page 6 - nos. 110 to 129.

I was kind of nervous, so (as you'll see) sat safely in the middle for most of the trip. I was somehow convinced that I would fall out, hit my head on a rock and lose all the law stuck in there...

Still had a great time though - can't wait to do it again next year!
