As many of my close friends and family know, I work for a river rafting company called Tour West. I have a link to their website on my page, and I would hope that anyone who visits my blog might pass by and check out what this amazing company has to offer. So I just returned from my first trip of the season and it was an amazing start. The weather was cold for the first two days of the trip then gradually got warmer until we left. The cold being mostly from me not wanting to get ALL of my rain gear out so I was a little chilly. The passengers were nice, and we all had a lot of fun. There were a few Crisis' between one woman and her diet coke, and an incident with her running barefoot on the beach and cutting up her big toe. But other than that things went super well. I did break a motor in a rapid named "Grape vine" named for the many rocks throughout the rapid making it look like a bunch of grapes. I hit a notorious rock that I thought I was clear of but I definitely wasn't. The rock is right at the top of the rapid, and it made the rest of the rapid a lot more interesting. The rest of the trip I had good runs, and we had a lot of fun. I leave for another trip tomorrow. It will be a 14 day hiking trip, and I can't wait for the experience. I hope to write a little about each trip here, in order to help me remember them. As well as let others know what an incredible experience it is to take a trip through the Grand Canyon on a raft; especially with Tour West. Anyone who reads this please go to the website
