Patty Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 For many years I've been telling myself I'll get serious about rafting. And after a five hour trip on the Snake River earlier this week, I decided that I need to graduate to week-long trips, (or at least a few days at a time!) Any rafters here? Where should I go for "lessons"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolinda Bonz Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 This is how we do it in Phoenix... http://usera.imagecave.com/RolindaBonz/bluepoint.jpg I scanned a postcard, but the Bluepoint Bridge from which the picture was taken is very familiar to me. The people float on intertubes, stuff coolers full of beer into intertubes, build large pyramid shaped radios that fit into the intertubes, and wrap bedsheets around intertubes to let their dogs "tube" too. Some just park on the shore of the Lower Salt River and watch the world float by. Bluepoint is just around the bend from pirate island...no shit, they'll raid your cooler. Bastards! No, mostly they scavenge styrofoam coolers that broke apart in "the rapids" Anyway, the river flows at between 1200 and 1800 cubic feet per second at a most refreshing 68 degrees which is heavenly when the sun is blistering the desert with temps upwards of 105 (once its hotter than 105, you can't really tell how hot it is...except that its JUST TOO FREAKIN HOT.) There are several points with parking lots and bus service so you can choose how long you want to spend floating, AND it's an excellent setting for listening to Tom Sawyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patty Posted June 27, 2005 Author Share Posted June 27, 2005 I'll be there for certain!!! launchpad, rafting through the Grand Canyon would be the ULTIMATE. In fact, the only thing that might be more exciting would be skydiving in to the canyon Anyway, a rafting trip ANYWHERE with a bunch of Rush people would be a blast!

I live right where all the downriver Grand Canyon trips originate from. A lot of my friends are 'river runners', they're a cool group of guys and gals.

Same with skydiving I live less than an hour from some of the best class IV white water in the world and I have never been. tell you the truth, I'm scared of other people in the boat. I have been freediving for 16 years and have witness the lack of skills and confidence around water that makes me just a little nervous about getting into a boat with a bunch first timers. dive safe!!!! again, we witness the mindless lack of awarness about aviation that allowed the terrorist to waltz through the airline gates and change our country forever. your lack of background knowledge and your apathy makes us weak. fly safe!!! blake united states hang gliding assoc pilot #72673 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
