Sorry for the little rant that you had to endure during the last post. I feel much better. Although, I just read through it and I need to edit my writing a little bit better. I can communicate well with writing I promise. Sometime I need to reread what I have written out loud. Moving on to more important information. We went to Jackson on Saturday to raft the Snake. It was running around 18,500 cfs. It was huge. A run down was taking us around and hour and 5 minutes. It was a lot of fun. I forgot to put sunscreen on my feet and I got a little bit sun burned. The weather was sunny and perfect and the water wasn’t that could. I rowed the boat the first run but I chickened out and Theral rowed Lunch Counter. (It was huge and a lot of fun in the boat.) The second run I rowed as well and I hit Lunch Counter ok. The third run Theral rowed and he did a great job. He did such a good job that both of us fell out of the boat. No need to fear the boat didn’t flip, but righted and rode the wave train like a pro with both of use riding along the side. Below are the
links to the photos from floattographs.com.

Good news. Theral just brought a kayak. So I can row the boat and he can float along the side. It will be such fun. I’m way excited for him. As a side note, I may note ever be a big water rower but I want to be along for the ride. So this might just be a hobby until I master the big water skills. So far, I’m a safety run gal. I look for the safest line and take it. But Theral and I have talked and depending on trips he can just strap the kayak to the boat and row what I don’t feel confident to row. What kind of adventures await us on the water time will only tell.
Maybe I will keep floating the Snake and if I enjoy one image a lot I will make Christmas cards out of it. It would be legendary.

WHAT................
Ok, this post is going to have the lastest and an update as to what happened in May.
But I just going to rant for a minute. How do you feel about telemarketers calling your cell phone? Personally I find it unbearable.
So over the last month Theral and I have been getting calls two numbers that are almost identical. We avoided the phone calls because we understood what they were. Yesterday, to get them to stop calling me I answered the phone. I think the thing that was the biggest surprise for me is that my sister gave my number out to people so that she could get some coupons. I listened to the spill and the more I learned about the so called dinner club the more mad I became about my cell number being given to a telemarketer. I think the thing the mad me the most mad is that my sister did it so she could get some two for one dinning deal. I think that act was extremely inconsiderate.
I would never give out family cell numbers just so I could get some two for one eating deal. I guess I have better cell etiquette then she dose.
So I called her up and told her not to give my cell phone out. I have a house number for the sort of thing. This sister is just racking up the points in my book. This same sister instigated a family feud as well. That is a long and a complicated story which leads to the fact that I’m not really trying to have a relationship with that sister and I have mother issues. Which by the way that I think are justified and which I have talked to people about. I need to work through these issues with my mother to determine what kind of relationship we are going to have in the future. For a solution to happen blame can’t happen and both parties need to work towards a mutual resolution.
On a side note, Theral got his bike almost put back together. On well, maybe tomorrow.

What happened to the Month of May
I didn’t tell you anything that happened. We put in on Desolation Canyon at the end of the month and the week before I was worked up about my flushing experiment on First Dam and getting ready for the river trip.
Trip was good. We had some great camp spots. I would like to take the lower part of the canyon slower and spend more time hiking and seeing things. My favorite things is seeing the sun come up on the canyon. It is truly a magical experience.
I got to fly from Green River to the put in. WOW!!!! It was fantastic. I got to see the canyon from a whole other view. We flew under some rain clouds and the rocks were so vibrant. I have photos that I will post but they are not going to even compare to the images in my head.
I have video of opening the lower level outlet on First Dam. So cool! Hydraulics in civil engineering are fantastic to see. I remember the first time that I saw a hydraulic jump in the field. I was so proud that I recognized it.
