Every summer my family has taken a week-long white water rafting trip. Some rivers that we have done are the Rio Platano in Honduras, the Green River in Utah, Cataract Canyon in Utah, the Shenandoah, the Upper Box of the Rio Grande. Next summer I hope to get to do some bigger water on overnight trips. The snow-covered La Sal mountains are nearby, as well as Arches and Canyonlands National Parks. Check out the photos below to see me in action, as well as some raft guide friends.
Raft guides are notorious for partying as the work is so intense, one needs to unwind.
I am the one on the oars. This is Eston, Matt, me, and Sara on my last day on the river. Matt brought a cake and we put toy animals in each piece. In the background you can see a giant rock butte where a Jeep Wrangler commercial was filmed a few years back. The cake gradually progressed into a giant food fight which the customers loved.
