Whitewater Rafting

So we woke up and got ready for our rafting trip. We were very hesitant because it was 40*... We went anyway and bought some undershirts before we got suited up in our full wetsuits and booties. The bus ride was about an hour to where we put in. We tried to be tough when we had to carry the raft ourselves down to the river but it was really heavy!!!









The rafting was really fun and there were a lot of III and IV level Rapids on the first half. The water actually warned us up as it was warmer than the air temperature!! We were fine until we stopped for lunch and then the cold sit in. We had a little campsite by the river but it took some time to get the fire started in some of us were worried about getting hypothermia (Callen). We eventually warmed up a little bit and had a great lunch. They had hot chocolate, steak, chicken, stirfry and a veggie burger for Kayla. They also had pasta salad with bread and butter. We cleaned up and got back on the river for a leisurely float down to the takeout. Even though we got to change into warm clothes back at the bus, we didn't feel like we were truly warmed up until late in the evening. We started our drive to Orchard Beach and arrived just in time for some pizza and a big trip to the candy store down by the water. We were south of Portland. The RV park was very nice so we did some laundry since most of her clothes were wet from the river.
