I went white water rafting Saturday and had a blast. 27 people total from my church and other people went. we rafted 12 miles of the deschutes river and it took about six plus hours. There were mostly class 1 and 2 rapids some class3 rapids and one class 4 rapid. we pulled the boats up the river bank and went over that one twice :-)
went swimming in the elevators and in the white river where it joins the deschutes river. had lots of water fights and steeling the buckets from one boat to the others. all in all it was an awesome day with friends and family. and I am hoping to go again this saturday

Sorta. I sat shotgun with the driver and wasnt one of the ones screeming making funny faces or taking pictures and making people get annoyed.however if I had sat in the back I would have been doing all of the things, but I ran the CD player. It was alot of fun.

THe water fights were a lot of fun. you can throw water pretty far
with a bucket. and you can splash with your paddle.

Hey Josh, how's it going? Wish I could have gone white water rafting....why didn't you invite me? That's ok, I was busy that day anyway shooting a wedding (photography). That was my first big professional phototography job. Pretty scary.

Anyway, glad you had a great time. Visit my blog sometime at http://www.xanga.com/mcfarnell/ and post a comment or subscribe! See ya.
