I went white water river rafting last weekend up in Kern County. I absolutely f-ing loved it! Some friends and I spent two days going down the Kern River, breathing in lovely mother nature. That's me on the left. I was put up front because of the sorry lot that went on this trip, I was one of the more athletic ones. That's not saying much about the other folks. Anyway, most of the river was really scenic. I found it meditative.
Of course, this was river rafting and there were several rapids we had to overcome. There was one point where we got stuck on a rock and our raft filled with water. Thanks to the quick thinking of our guide, we freed ourselves. Atleast two of my teammates were thrown over and had to be rescued.
Here's a picture of me up to my neck in water. The rapids were overwhelming. It was definately a highlight of my year.

You almost look butch in that picture.
HOLY FUK! And here I thought I was adventurous. Whew, you wouldn't get me in one of those rafting boats. I get motion sickness just looking at the waves of traffic on the 405! Good for you; glad you had a fun time.
Dude, don't you run marathons and stuff? I think that makes 98 percent of the population less athletic than you. Although I guess running is more of a lower body workout....
Wow, Noel! Wow!
You rock!
I've had this on a goal list for two years! I did whitewater canoeing with my family as a kid, and rafted part of the pretty mild Truckee River as part of a writing conference...this looks amazing! (Last time I was in Kernville the water was low and you could see all the amazing shapes it has carved the rock into.)
Yay, you!
