WOW!!! What has been going on in our world.

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

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.
