The river was beautiful, so calm, and peaceful!
This is Pete, our fearless guide!
Chris and Pete and I took a 24 hour trip to Jackson Hole to run the river. I was slightly weary about the fact that it was September, but I thought the sun would be shining, and I could get a tan. I quickly found out, first of all, it was not sunny, second of all, the water is hypothermic, and third of all, I had to bundle up so even if there was sun, I wouldn't get a tan. We left on Friday night, and drove almost 2 hours, and we were spent. We stopped in Logan Canyon and spent the night, got up and back in the car. We arrived in Jackson around 12:00 PM, ran the river, and then back in the car around 5:00 PM. Then, homeward bound! So, we were gone a total of 24 hours, and it was great. We had a lot of fun, and although I was bundled up, I got a freezing cold splash of water from Big Kahuna! But, the great thing is, nobody fell out, and Pete did not flip us, or even come close to flipping us! Good work Pete, and it does not mater that there were only 2 rapids, there were a lot of rocks!
I made Chris take a picture of my sick wet suite. I was thinking, it is pretty tight, and snug, I was wondering if I could somehow wear that under my clothes to suck in all those extras!
Chris is crazy, he willingly jumped into the hyperthermic ice river!
Chris and I bundled up in our cold, supposed to keep you warm, but didn't, outfit!

You look really sexy in that wetsuit you should probably wear it to Heber Valley Camp
Ok so Dave and I went up to jackson hole earlier this summer and I have a matching photo of me in a sick wetsuit! Anyways the picture made me laugh and so I had to let you know that I went through the same experience, although not in September, you guys are nuts!
Your blog made me miss the Rocky Mountains (and the desert). I've been in Samoa for 4 months now, and enjoying it, but there is something special about the adventures at home. Glad to hear you are doing well!
