Why was this day so exciting you ask - because this was the day of the biggest white-water and most violent potty bushes. In a nutshell:
1- While on a lunch stop Sally slipped and fell on her face during a private visit to a bush (but she didn't tell anyone)
2- Sally then flipped her kayak in a part of the river called Mule Creek Canyon (and was rescued by John and Jacob who righted her kayak)
3- After expertly navigating the tough part of Mule Creek, Candace turned the raft over to me and I immediately got us caught in Coffee Pot ... a broiling part of the river in Mule Creek Canyon that doesn't let go. I finally managed to pull out of it as the water wasn't as bad as it can be.
4- Blossom Bar Rapids - by the time we got to this hairy section, we decided not to push our luck and deferred to our rafting expert John who had to navigate this section twice (once with each raft - we deflated the kayak).
The second 2 photos on this page are of John, Candace and Sally heading down in the second raft through the Blossom Bar Rapids. I took these photos from shore and walked the several miles to our Paradise cabins.
