Snake River Rafting

In rained this morning and the rafting on the Snake River had to be postponed until 1230 hours.

The 13-mile down stream rafting trip on the Snake River was most exilarating and edifying. I was the point man who sat on the bow of the raft.

Without my falling into the icy water, I took pictures of the river scenes (some white waters) and wildlife: bald eagles, osprys, Canadian Geese, wall swallows, and a large beaver lodge.

On the last mile or so of the river trip, the expedition met up with a thunderstorm. We saw it coming a half mile upstream and donned ponchos. The group didn't get too wet, nor the raft was in danger of sinking.

It was a long day, but an excellent adventure was had by all.
