Wilson and I went to the Lower Salmon River this past week and had a blast. Wilson got thrown off of the raft at Snowhole-a class IV rapid. He laid back and put his feet forward and came out without a scratch. We developed some new games on this rafting trip. One was called "Pirating." Basically, that is where you try to throw everyone in the other raft off and keep yourself and the captain of your raft safe. It was invigorating. Wilson loved to have us "ram" the other raft and go flying through the air to tackle someone off of the raft, and often two, or three people. Fortunately, I did not have any injuries other than a accidental paddle to the face. We were on the river for 4 days, and three nights. The weather was spectacular, and the young men were incredible. They worked hard and everything went seamless.
