White-Water Rafting!

A group of about 30 friends and I decided to go white-water rafting on the Wenatchee a few weekends ago! It was awesome!

There were 5 boats of us plus a few other boats with people we didn't know.
The weather was about 105 degrees and the water was nice and cold right off the mountains.



I decided to get on the wild boat. We had water wars (the guides equip their boats with 5 gallon buckets so we can soak the other boats with water), got out and floated in the river for a while, stood on the bow of the boat and rode it like a bull while the other paddlers tried to buck you off, and went down some pretty cool rapids that the other boats wouldn't go down.

At one point, we went down the "Asshole". We almost didn't get out of it, it kept sucking us back in. 2 other boats went down but the first one flipped, and the other went right over the top of it and flipped as well. Everybody was okay though. They got out of it and everybody got back in their boats.
