kiersten's adventure's-white water rafting




Okay so one of the first things our raft instructor told us, was that this wasn;t a vacation, this was an adventure, because rafting was going to take some work. But my friends and I were up to the challenge. So we started off the adventure paddling down the Middle Fort River, which is acutally the same river where the Gold Rush was. Later in the trip we found small little specks of gold, glistening underneath the clear water. But we couldn't tell if they were really and gold. Still it was pretty inspiring to be in the same river that millions of people traveled to, just for the chance of gold.
Any way, so we started off the trip paddling down the river singing pirate songs, yes pirate songs, and listening and sharing every black, indian, Irish, White, Blonde, and Michael Jackson joke we knew.
After going over some pretty fast rapids, paddling our way down mini waterfalls, getting slammed up against rocks, we finally came to a calm part of the river. But after we were there for a little bit it wasn't so calm. After several splashing wars with our fellow rafters, it finally turned into a full fledged war, that involved intense splashing, jumping on and taking over the enemies boat, and lets not forget pulling the enemy rafters into the water.
Of course our team one! :)
