whitewater rafting

 
our last day we went whitewater rafting down the upper Gallatin river in Bozeman, Montana. Brian, Gerald, Wendy, and I found this so exhilirating and we want to do this again next year! That river is so cold but our guide ws so informative (she was a female so i felt reassured right away...hee hee!) and taught us well as we had a few flathead miles to practice and get comfortable and then she told us that she thought we were strong paddlers as some people just "lilly dip" with their oars and it is alot harder for her to steer the raft. I screamed alot ....but sometimes i think maybe that was Brian or Gerald screaming? hard to really know for sure....
