John and I recently had the opportunity to go rafting down Westwater canyon. We are very blessed to have friends that are not only experienced rafters, but also have their own boats. Saturday we put in and had an easy float to our campsite. There were only a few small rapids so it was a laid back day. Our campsite was a beautiful sandy beach along the river. We enjoyed elk burgers and blue margaritas for dinner. The following day we continued down the canyon and ran "Skull" and "Sock-it-to-me". The rapids made for a much more exciting day. We all made it out alive, no one flipped on "Skull" or spun around in the "Room of doom" for eternity. Lunch and cliff diving before the take out was a great end to our weekend.
Getting ready to go!

A rafting trip was the perfect way to wrap up the summer. The canyon was gorgeous, the colors are beginning to change in the desert. We had a wonderful time with an excellent group of friends. To see more pictures of our trip, go to the photo album.
