Over the weekend we went up to Idaho for some white water rafting on the Salmon River! We met my parents and 2 brothers at the camp that my parents stay at all summer long, then headed to the White Otter Rafting Co. in Sunbeam. Here we are all geared up and ready to go.
There were 9 of us; my mom and dad, Brett (my older brother), Scott (younger brother) and my family except Nash (he was with the scouts on a high adventure white water rafting on the Payette River North East of where we were)
Scott and Austin were really concentrating on getting through the rapids!
We went through two Class 4 rapids (the "Shotgun" and the "Dam") and a couple of Class 3 rapids(the "Narrows"and "Piece of Cake"). This was a shot of us going through "The Dam" a class 4 rapid...
This picture was taken a ways away, so it doesn't do it justice, as far as how big the rapids were. Later in the day we watched a raft go through and tip end on end knocking all its' passengers out except one, even the guide fell out!
We were blessed because it had been raining the whole way there and was still cloudy but once we got on the river the sun came out and stayed until we were all done and headed back to camp! We had a great time and would love to go again!
