I have a good friend in the northwest that went on a moderate white water rafting trip last summer and absolutely loved it. She went with some friends that talked her into it. She normally isn’t keen on water adventures, but her friends convinced her it was time to do something adventurous for a change. She told me she came close to pretending to get sick so she could back out of it, but her friends wouldn’t believe her anyway. She said as soon as they hit the first big rapid, she was hooked. She said that it was such an adrenaline rush and the drops while white water rafting were so exciting. She was ready to take another trip later that summer. She wants me to come along next time when I go and visit her this summer. Now, that the shoe is on the other foot, I am not sure myself. If we start on a easy to moderate white water rafting trip, I am in. It does look like great fun and sometimes you just gotta do it.
