white water rafting, mount everest


     I have always wanted to go white water rafting. I finally had the opportunity to go sky diving last year and what a blast! So I was hoping this rafting trip would surpass that. We were going on a seven day trip that covered 160 miles of calm water to class 4 and 5 rapids. I was totally stoked and could not wait for the time to come. There are about 12 of us going, plus two guides so we should be alright. I had my pack ready for a month before we left, I was very antsy to get going to say the least.


     I must say it was everything that I hoped for. The weather was beautiful and the water was low so the rapids were not as bad as they could have been. We still were turned over a few times, and after that I don't want to ever be on that river when it is full and rushing. Our guide said that we only hit class 3 and maybe class 4 rapids on the trip. If that is the case then wow! I had a blast and I would definitely recommend trying it if you have ever thought about white water rafting. Maybe next year I will try to climb Mount Everest. Maybe not.
