Class 2 Rapids are not as scary as they sound

Moab was a great success. No one drowned, no paddles were swept away and only two cars got lost and ended up driving 2 hours in the wrong direction. Overall, everyone had a good time.

Although, the rafting consisted mostly of floating slowly down the Colorado River. The rapids were a bit weak and few and far between. Fortunately, our rafting guides brought along some inflatable kayaks, which were way more fun, especially going through the rapids.

Liz and I, on the very sketchy bus that drove us to the river.  




We floated past this little beach where there was a DJ spinning some sick jams and old women dressed in neon prom dresses. I'm not kidding.


Plugging up the hole in our boat.  Oops.

Ming, our river guide.  He was from Thailand and kept us out of trouble.

Oh Bri! I did this once down the Colorado River...it's SO much fun right? I think mine were class 3 and that was as far as I'd go down a "rapid" :)

Sounds fun. Got all caught up on you from Jen this past weekend. I'm excited for you!
