The River Wild

Last Thursday morning Craig and I packed up the car and headed to Wyoming for my family's annual summer get-together. We stayed in some cabins in Bedford, WY which is about 60 miles south of Jackson.

We canoed, hiked, rode four wheelers, rafted down the Snake River. As we were riding the four wheelers to the top of the mountain, I couldn't help but think how manly and testosterone-filled this whole event was. What was next? Hooters for some wings and a gawk? Perhaps I was starting to turn a bit "straight." But then a horsefly bit me and I screamed like a girl. And then when I went to scratch my freshly bitten ankle, I couldn't help but notice how dry the skin on my legs was. Surely there is some lotion on this four wheeler somewhere.....It was then I realized everything was right with the universe.

Here is Craig in the Canoe.



And here is triumphant Craig after conquering the mountain.



And here is a short video of us maneuvering one of the bigger rapids on the Snake River.



The river was a bit chilly and the air was a bit nippy but overall it was a blast.

It was a very fun weekend. I loved it!
