I'll be leaving tomorrow for a rafting trip..... down death rapids. Please pray for me. I really do't want to die by drowning. But I'll be back on Sunday, hopefully.

Hope you have fun! Rafting is pretty hard, I know from experience. It took me 3 hours to go 6 miles! I don't think I'll be doing that again. Hope you do well and get back safe!

Thanks guys. I saw a picture of this huge man falling out of it.... if that was me, I'd be flying in the air. I'm not huge so that's pretty scary. Class three's, fours, and five's are what I'm doing. What if there are pointy rocks/huge waterfalls?/! OK, I need to calm down. I'll be in a big fatty raft with other people as well. I'll just sit in the middle! I'm such a chicken.

Don't worry, you'll be fine! Tons of people go rafting all the time, and they're always ok. I hope you have fun!

I survived! WooT! I fell out once, but it was right at the end of the rapid so I was OK. We got stuck on a class 4 though. I was sitting in the back and the end was jutting off of this huge rock. The waterfall below us was huge too. I was pretty scared there. It was the second rapid of the day as well. How lucky can you get? But our tour guide was smexy! I got to sit in the back with him. ^_^But whenever we got back to the hotel that night, the news said there was a woman that got killed rafting. It was around the same area we rafted as well. So that pretty much scared the crap out of me.

Yay!! You made it back alive!! Isn't the back of the raft the part that gets the most whip lash? That's scary. You're so brave....

^ Haha! I am such a chicken! I didn't even want to do it. My dad actually made me. It was worth it though. I got thrashed around a lot. You have to sit on the edge too and paddle through the rapid. The only thing that's keeping you from falling out is your feet. But the people in the back only have one foot hole. So yeah... I was really scared. But the smexy guy made things a lot better! When the water was calm we had a lovely chit chat. ^_^
