Honestly, I was more scared than I've ever been in my life. I was frantically flailing my arms trying to get above water but all I could feel was the raft above my head. I was stuck under water! Just when I was getting ready to breathe in icy cold water and sink into an untimely death, I emerged under the raft in between the seats. I screamed and asked someone, anyone, to find my shoe. I already lost one pair of cheap sandals this trip, I didn't want to lose one of my nice Pumas! luckily Jay found my shoe and Chris pulled me out from under the raft.
There are eight different rafting companies that take people on rides down the river. The company we went with today is the ONlY one that hasn't capsized a raft this season. Until today. But, our capsizing was intentional unlike all the others. The best part is we capsized on a size 1 rapid.
Before we tipped over I asked Carsten straight out, "Are we gonna tip over?" "No." liar!
Here are the Evans boys and Carsten heaving the raft onto the pile to head back to the start.
We survived! Rafting was almost as good as the sopapillas we had the night before.

ReplyDeleteCarsten's my son and he loves to show his customers a good time. That smile is beautiful and his heart is as big. He really knows the rivers. I rafted with him on the Green for 4 days/3 nights and the Snake. Glad you posted so I could see him too.
