Deb's Digest

A buffet breakfast was waiting for us in the main lodge building. We'd be departing at 9:00am for our River Rafting Adventure on the Colorado River!

The pre-trip materials described this as Class 1 and 2 rapids. Probably because of the lateness of the season, they were mostly Class 1. However, that was just perfect for our morning on the river.

I brought a water camera with me for the rafting, afraid of ruining my good camera. Based on our experience, I would bring a small, inexpensive digital with me next time, along with a good ziploc bag.

We drove to the launch spot and I'll give you one important word of warning! There are "portajohns" at the launch spot, but unless you are one desperate person, AVOID THEM! I usually don't have a problem using park portajohns but trust me, these were the grossest things I have seen in years.. I'll just leave it at that.

You will definetly get WET on this trip. Lots of raft fights with water being thrown back and forth. Some folks enjoyed getting in the water and floating along with the rafts. Some of us prefered to just hangout in the raft and enjoy the incredible views.

No matter what you choose, it's a wonderful time.

Next...our final dinner together and heading home.
