Whitewater Rafting I've never been whitewater rafting. I tried kayaking in whitewater about two years and two weeks ago. It was a harrowing experience. At the time, I wrote a piece that I had intended to submit for publication consideration to a topical magazine. I never quite got around to submitting the article. Today, I realized that I hadn't shared this story with a lot of you. What follows is what I wrote sometime around 5/9/04. It's pretty long, so I've put the story on its own page. Read: Captain Adventure in Fort Fun. ... Crazy, huh? I cannot even begin to explain the power of the river that I experienced that day. That experience combined with a couple of scares during my last trip to Hawaii has made me noticeably more conservative in my estimates of my abilities in the water. I'll still go in, and I'll still jump down into it from high places, but I'm a lot more quick to realize when things are close to my limit. That power is awesome, and it can be downright scary. |
Some parts true. Many made-up.
