Whitewater Rafting Trip ... AWESOME!!

On Thursday, we did a full day of whitewater rafting. We rafted the Crystal River into Roaring Fork and then into the Colorado River. What made this trip so spectacular was the height of the river. They had over 400" of snow this year so the rivers were extremely high. Some of the houses along the river are even threatened as these rivers continue to crest. For us, this meant very, very fast moving water and great rapids! They said we would experience high Class III rapids. I swear I think some of them were a IV! The pictures above are as we loaded into our raft with our guide, Gus. Erica affectionately named him GUS GUS from Cinderella! He had just graduated from high school and is headed to the University of Denver in the fall. He was a really nice guy. The last picture he told us was Bonnie and Clyde's car that is riddled with bullet holes. Scott doesn't believe it but I do. It simply made the trip more fun to think they left their car along the river. And besides, it looks just like one of those old cars from their pictures!!!
