Class Five Rapids Are A Blast!
Brent organized for us to take a jet boat up the river toward the
Falls where the captain of our "vessel" negotiated class three,
four and five rapids and drenched us in waves of cold water in
the process.
We had a seat toward the back, which afforded us an amazing
view of the wall of water as it came over the front of the boat.
We'd highly recommend the experience to anyone!

I Think We Are Going To Get Wet
Wow, did that turn out to be true!

Bring It On!
Here we are, still with sunglasses on,
awaiting our fate as we zoom up the river to
the rapids.

Jetboat Preparation
Though there were all sorts of instructions before the
voyage, we managed to miss it and still survived...go
figure.

Final Instruction Before The Rapids
Even with a megaphone, we couldn't understand a word.

rapid.

Don't Try This At Home
Or in your own boat. As fun as it was, those rocks are
real and these guys are great pilots.

The Three Hour Tour
No, we didn't end up with Gilligan, and thank goodness
we didn't end up with those idiots on that new reality
show, but we did get tossed around like the Minnow.

We Survived!
After the trip our leader helps people out of the boat.
