River Chronicles #10

Trip number ten down!! This was a really fun one. It helped that it was a fun trip because I'm kind of beat after ten trips. The trip was with twenty really great guys from Sweden. The trip was organized and brought all together by two extremely talented and adventure loving gentleman. Let me just say that this was probably the most rowdy group I've had all summer. These guys knew how to party and you couldn't help but to join them. Two ukulele's were brought on the trip and they added a musical feature that I've never had before. Great songs were sung before and after dinner from both Sweden and the U.S. and it was a really fun time to hang out and to get to know everyone. The weather was pretty good but it threatened to rain almost everyday. The little Colorado was muddy but we swam anyway. I mean, I only have so many times I can swim there, right?! The food turned out great and the guests were really happy with it. A couple of the nights there were more than a few bottles of whiskey opened and drained before bedtime as the whole group sang songs and told stories. I really believe that this was one of my most memorable trips. The people were great, the crew was great and the work was easy. This was my last motor trip for a while. I have another trip coming up on Sunday but it will be in row boats and that will sadly be my last trip for a couple years. I love the river and I love the opportunity to work for the greatest company down there. I'm so stoked I have one more trip left and that it's slow and long so I can enjoy the canyon for as long as I can. Another adventure awaits and there are more rapids to be run! Wish me luck! Sorry I don't have any pictures yet, I'm hoping to get some from the swedes. When I get them I'll post them up for you all to take a look.
