Whitewater Rafting Trip: Tues/Wed August 6th/7th

OK guys, every year I host a rafting trip for all of my friends. I own my own gear and we camp along the river in Maupin OR. I always head out early to secure our favorite campsite... which means that I am out there for a few days without much to do.

This year I am going to invite you guys, too! I can handle five people each day, Tuesday and Wednesday, August 6th & 7th. Depending on the response, it could be the same five people both days, or if more than five of you want to join it could be five different people the second day.

I've been rafting this stretch of river since I was 6, and guiding since I was 16 (over 20 years now!). Cost would be $40 per person each day you raft, and $5 per person each night you camp.

It's a lot of fun guys...

Here I am chillin next to the river back in 1982. I'm 2nd from the right, my little bro is on the right of me. Haha...




And how about anchoring the front right of this raft as we hit Oak Springs in 1990?



Fast forward to 1998 and I am trying to sink this raft over Boxcar...

You guys better not miss this out! I personally can't swim but always go rafting when the opportunity strikes! It is such a great amount of fun! And there is going to be camping too? Get your arse from behind the screen and go buy some gear!

What about that whole fear of dieing thing? You know, thrown from the raft, sucked down into the water, hit your head, all that stuff?

The only people who ever die are the ones who aren't wearing the life jackets properly (or at all). I've been down the river 5-10 times a year for the past 30 years and nobody in our group has ever gotten seriously injured... scrapes and bruises at worst.
