Pardon Me, Boy, Is That The Royal Gorge Route?

Then we got on a train which took us past the really tough rapids. But not because we couldn't do it . . .

Forward Two! Back One! Forward Three!

Here are the rapids we ran today on the Arkansas River. No, really. The dude said these were 'gnarly' and 'swirly'. They also rank very highly on the whitewater danger scale.

World's Most Dangerous Whitewater
1. Niagara Falls
2. Victoria Falls
3. Arkansas River
4. Malibu mudslide (1986)

Yes, the river we rafted was just slightly less dangerous than going over Niagara Falls. I think our picture will be on the cover of Outside magazine next month.
