Whitewater

It has taken me now over two weeks to get this post together and written. Why did it take me so long? Well, I'm still at a lost for words on how to describe fully the trip that I took from June 18-28. It was by far a more memorable trip than I ever thought it would be. Sitting back and trying to think of where to begin is to hard, but I'm going to do my best to recap an amazing adventure. I told several people that I was going to Idaho to go whitewater rafting and they thought I was crazy and/or stupid. Well let me tell you something, it was the far from that.
I want to first say that what made the trip were the people that were on it, we covered the US, from Florida to Washington, Alabama to Arizona, and we even had someone from England as well. We were from all over the world and each person brought and put the own unique touch on the trip. When we do it all over again I would like to have the same group. I can't speak for everyone, but I personally can say that I learned something from everyone.
Whitewater rafting in Idaho in June down the Middle Fork of the Salmon River is an amazing experience. The river has so much to offer. Everyone who went found something that they could enjoy. I was lucky to be able to try so many different things. I got to paddle, fly fish, relax, and even spent some time in a ducky. I could do the whole river again doing anyone of these things the entire time and would be completly blessed and contempt to do so. On the river we went over rapids with such names as Tappin, Powerhouse, Hayseed, and Kramer. These are only a few that were conquered on the river, some were more crazy and dangerous then other, but each brought on a different challenge. Of course the river was where all the excitement was but just as good as the river was spending time at camp.
All our camp sites were all full of amazing views. We played cards, hiked up mountains, fished more, jumped off rocks/cliffs into the river, and yes even played a little butt darts. Each camp had it own unique feature, but they all had one thing in common: Laughter and Joy. You would think that you were apart of a Christmas morning opening presents if you could of heard this group being around on another.
I would love to go own and tell you more but I can not think of the words. I know that I'm already looking forward to doing it all again in two years. I just hope that I don't have to wait two years to see everyone again. So to everyone who went on the trip and to those that made this trip possible I want to say Thanks, and hopefully I will see you soon.
