The Raft Trip

So the Rafters were gonna do just the upper and lower parts of the American River but someone thought it would be a great idea to do the middle fork.
My Dad, a seasoned rafter hadn't done the middle fork in like 20 maybe 30 years!
It is pretty intense and here are the pictures to prove it!

BTW-All these pictures are from the same rapid- Tunnel Chute
Jared is in this boat







this summer Uncle Ty worked for these photographers. That's why he knows where they are and is posing for the cameras instead of paddling!




oooopps... there goes G'pa!













Where's G'pa?

looking for G'pa


This is my Dad and he is so Awesome!!!

Those pictures of Ty are funny! And you forgot to mention that your super cool brother that guided the other raft didn't fall out and didn't drop anyone.

Go Gpa! My heart about stopped while I was scrolling through...where is he? Where is he?!
Way to much fun for me, I'll be the photographer on dry land where it's safe. :)
