I will now continue my stories of my kayaing trip. Well, it started off just driving all the way there. We had to get all the way to Rome, Oregan, a very isolated place (Cells rarely work). After we met up with another group we left the next day down the Owyee River. After about four miles down we enter a desert canyon, that where we stayed for the rest of the week.
The first night was awesome, we didn't hit any rapits or anything that day but it was awesome. Saddly there was a certain bubble bee that wouldn't leave anybody alone. And in the morning one of the guides found a dead scorpion in her sleeping bag. But we got along find. I cannot tell you what time everything took place because we were on river time. (Even before we left we were told to take off our watches and put it in the van.)
The second night we ached all over! We finally got a taste of the first rapts on the trip. And one of my friends almost got into a seriose jam. We got to a place in the river called Bulls-Eye, and that rapt is a #5/6. (A rapts danger goes on a scale 1-5. 1 being the easiest, 5 being the hardest, and 6 being you might live today you might not.) After the guides went down it and sationed themselfs along the river they said the first person could go. 10 seconds after going my friend was thrown out of his boat with nothing but God to depend on. After that one the rest end up hauling our boats down along side the river. My friend was find just a few bumps here and there, but I don't think he'll becoming a lifeguard anytime soon.
The third day was a real treat, we came upon hot springs! Not only that, right by it was a miniture rapt we could hang on. Even though that was a small one it didn't take much for us to lose our footing. And you had to be careful of unseen rocks sweatdrop . That night was awesome, we saw a rattle snake. And its a funny storie, you see all that week so far we've been trying to find rattle snakes but couldn't. So here we are in a circle having our dayly meeting being calm and quiet, and a rattle snake comes out of no where and goes under this chair, my friend Ben, was sitting on. We never saw it again, but that was freakin awesome! Well as the night went on we were having a blast.
A bunch of guys (okay me and another girl name Izzi), were yelling out varist things. Like, "Burn Him!" because we were playing Mafia earlier and the village people wanted to burn people to the stake. OH!, and we also yelled out "Water sucks! It really really sucks!", and also stuff like "Gatorate!". We even started sing (yelling) different songs, like the vegtales theme song. Of course we heard a chrous of "GO TO BED!" from the other guys but like that stop us.
The fourth day, well I've already explained what happen that night in an earlier entrie. I'll explain day five, six, and seven tommorrow.
