We set up camp and Adam did a little paddling on the rapids right by our site...
We were the only people in the entire campground. Kobe was beside himself with excitement. He got to run all over the place without me yelling at him to "get over here and leave those people alone!" As darkness started to settle in, we got the fire going and settled ourselves in for a nice cozy evening around the campfire. Enjoying some yummy cider from some local folks http://www.farnumhillciders.com/ and reflecting on our last crazy 24 hours.The next day, we met up with our friend Steve and did some paddling.
Hey, look - it's me about to head into a crazy, wild class VI rapid...
OK, not so much a class VI, but we did find this nice spot with some little baby waves to surf while we were in between rapids. It was a great day on the river.
What did I learn this weekend? When you're about ready to lose it, go watch some buildings explode, have some coffee and eventually everything will be alright!

the cider probably helped, too.
it didn't hurt.
Now that is a way to spend a weekend. What a turn around things blowing up can make.
umm do they make class VI..and by They i mean the Aliens..
yup:
Class VI (extreme and exploratory): These rapids have rarely been attempted and exemplify the extremes of difficulty, unpredictability, and danger. The consequences of errors are very severe and rescue may be impossible. These rapids are for teams of experts at favorable water levels. After a Class VI rapid has been run successfully several times, its rating may be changed to Class V.
wow. that sounds scary.
