Ok, possibly the awesomest thing to do up here in GV is whitewater rafting, and thanks to our awesome friends at Idaho Whitewater Unlimited (who you should go with if you have the urge -check them out at
www.idahowhitewaterunltd.com) we got to run the best (in my opinion) run the Payette offers: the Canyons. Its an all day trip down the meanest stretch of river I've ever boated that starts way up Banks-Lowman Road past Pine Flats and runs all the way down to Banks. You stop mid-day for lunch at the Pine Flats hotsprings and its class 3 and 4 rapids all day long! Our AWESOME boat, me and the boys -as usual, had an awesome day running the hardest lines of every rapid we came to.
Yes, we got thrashed in Trashcan. Yes, we dumped our entire boat trying to surf an unsurfable rapid. Yes, some of us spent a little more down-time (underwater) than we were comfortable with. And yes, we had the BEST day EVER and came home exhausted and exhilarated. Here are just a couple picks of just before and just after.
Sterling and I in our sexy boatin' gear. Me-yow!
Scot getting pumped up. Scary, I know.
Andy and I. Aww, bffs!
Team Jesus (pronounced "hey-zoos") after our triumphant river day.
Yes, we shouted every Spanish word we knew that day (which was mostly "Taco!" "Horchata!")
Good times, good times.
