This last week i went to one of the biggest whitewater festivals in the world! Not only that, i got to guide and raft a class 5 river 4 different times!!! I feel VERY blessed to have come out of it only small amounts of bruising too! Here are some pictures and video of what i got to do and see!
There were hundreds and hundreds of people and boaters there! this picture doesn't do it justice. The good news is, it was only this crowded for two of the four days we were there
This my good friend Kristen Baunsgard (sorry if i spelt your last name wrong!). Basically Kristen is bomb! We are just getting ready for the day!
This is the car ride out!
Out on postage doom watching the carnage!
So this picture doesn't do this rapid justice. This is sweets falls. The last class 5 rapid of the day and it is 16 feet tall. It feels a lot different than it looks when you are in the raft.
This is a video of pillow rock. This video doesn't do it justice. But gives you a good idea of what it kinda looks like.
This video is of some people getting launched off postage doom. Don't try this at home...seriously Kristen and I tried it. We launched her brother in law off the back of one a week before this and he kinda got hurt...
Right after you get done running Sweets Falls you can either run The Box, or just go around Postage Doom. These people ran The Box and didn't make it. The same thing happened to us the second time we ran it. Our boat high sided and flipped.
