Hilary and Kelsey getting ready to get on the bus to head to the Snake River from Jackson Hole, Wy.
The old couple, mom and dad along for the fun too.
Just about to hit the big Kahuna. The biggest rapid on the river. Rick and I are on the left, second, and third person. Hilary and Kelsey are on the right, second, and third person.
YEAH! So much fun.
Holding on!
Is everyone paddling? The two front people were supposed to be the paddle masters, they did a terrible job as you can see. Everyone else did most of the work.
Where's the front of the raft? It's a wonder it stays afloat.
We went on August 15. We got our tickets for half off. It was a great deal. This is the second time Rick and I have done this, Hilary's done it three times, and this was Kelsey's first time. The water was 60 degrees and actually a lot warmer than the usual 40 degrees. When we were in slower moving water I got to jump in. It took my breath away. But I've always wanted to do that. I was the only one on our raft and all the other rafts too, brave enough or stupid enough to do it :)
After getting back to Jackson Hole and having dinner, the girls wanted to show their heritage and have their old time photos taken. It was a lot of fun watching them do this. Jackson Hole is always a good idea. It is only a couple hours to get there. One of the great things to living in Southeast Idaho. We live relatively close to the Tetons and Yellowstone.
Beautiful Shoshone Indian maidens. I wouldn't want to run into them on the trail.
