Rafting – Day Three

Our last day proved to be the most exciting for me.  After sleeping in this great campsite I was walking back from the latrine when I saw the real rattlesnake on the rocks three feet from me.  I leapt ten feet to the right and ran like Mercury back to the campsite.  Wow, it could have only happened to me.  After calming down I stayed on the river with Skip when Debbi and the others went on a hike up to “Suicide Point” overlooking our campsite.  Skip and I had a great time chatting so it was a wonderful alternative.  The rest of the day we cruised down the river, swam on a nice sandy beach, docked at the little historical museum and finished a truly memorable three days of rafting on the Snake River in Hells Canyon.

    Like the shot of you and Rusty. However, I think he’s too old for you.

    Later,
