White water rafting in Colorado, August, 2008.
We got bounced a little bit. We got wet a little bit. We never, ever came even close to anything that might have dumped us into the river.
If this was “Deliverance,” it was very, VERY much “Deliverance Lite.”
The scenery was great, our guide was friendly.
I took the time at our lunch break to go looking for “artistic” still lifes and interesting things to take pictures of. For this trip I had just bought a new waterproof camera. I don’t us it that often these days since my iPhone is just about as waterproof and weatherproof, but fourteen years ago we didn’t have iPhones, so it fit a need.
I would love to do it again some day, perhaps in a bit more of a turbulent environment. Maybe not a 9 or 10 on a scale of 1 to 10, but at least a 6 or 7 instead of a 3 or 4.
