Whitewater Rafting Six-Mile River - WOW!

Class 4 and Class 5 whitewater. Six-Mile River is purportedly the roughest river in the United States to be commercially rafted. From our limited perspective, we certainly thought so! Wendy and Hal both went into the drink in the Zig Zag rapids. We ALL had to go into the drink at the beginning to qualify and for a confidence builder, plus be briefed on how to get rescued. In short, this was a very thrilling 3 hours of our lives and we loved every minute. We are still thawing out!

Wendy really did paddle and participate, but here I am hunkered down in the back with my paddle sticking out so as not to fall out. I have taken interminable kidding for this intermittent position in the boat in this photo from my son.

Enlarge this photo and see some enlarged mouths and expressions.
