Dude!! On August 8 & 9 I went on a river rafting trip on a Class 3/4/5 river in Oregon. This was a blast!
That's me in the front right. Also, Ronda, Kira, Amber, Suzanne & Taryn. (And our guide Keenan) Hard to tell with the Helmets, etc.
Yes, that is us (above) completely "submerged" underwater being near drowned by the force of it.
There are more pics than this, but I condensed for the sake of the blog. There is one picture where we are going straight up and down about to go under the water. Crazy!
I was pretty anxious/nervous before we got there because I didn't know what to expect at all. But, once we got on the river it was so much FUN! The only real scary part was the Class 5 rapid towards the end of the ride. (the above pics) You can't really plug your nose cuz you have to hold your paddle and the boat. Needless to say, you swallow a LOT of water through your nose and choke on it after.
What a fun girl's trip that was. Next year I am totally bringing Aaron and anyone else who will join us! It's a great 1/2 day trip with gorgeous views and beautiful/cold glacier water that is a light turquoise in color - so pretty!
Sidenote: all of the handsome 20-something river guides were a perk too!
Hey, I'm only human - sorry Honey~
