You may be wondering about the title. Let me explain. At the beginning of July I received a phone call from my friend Amber. She was inviting me to join a bunch of other people for an annual river trip. She only knew a few people herself, but the guy in charge, Brad Biggerstaff (aka: Biggie) told her she could invite as many more girls as she wanted. So, I of course went! Well, Biggie has been doing this river trip every summer for about 10 years and his dad owns the boats, so we have to pay him a very minimal amount to cover the cost of hauling all the equipment up to Alpine, WY and then we do our own food! Talk about a great deal!
We arrived late Thursday night and set up camp in the dark. That was exciting. The next day we ran the Snake River twice and went out for dinner, then back to camp. There were only about 20 of us who were there that first day, but Friday night our numbers doubled! As a result, most of us only got the chance to run the river once on Saturday, some people were lucky enough to go twice. Saturday night, we drove up to Jackson Hole, went to dinner, got some ice cream, then went to the Cowboy Bar for some country dancin! Let me tell you, drunk people can provide some great entertainment!
This river trip was a great weekend and I hope I'm lucky enough to go again next year. If not, I'm sure I'll find some other fun thing to do. Enjoy the pictures!
Day 1, Run 1
Day 1, Run 2
Day 2, Run 2 (my only Saturday run, but so worth the wait!)
And yes, I did pay for copies of these pictures from the Float O Graphs place. But hey, I wasn't about to take my camera on board and they did such a nice job with the photography!

A river trip has always sounded so much fun. I've done river rafting in Montana a couple of times but they were only half-day trips. I looks like it was a really fun trip.
Hey Rach! This looks like so much fun! Bryce and I are actually going to Jackson Hole next Friday to go river rafting so it was so much fun to see all your pictures! We are going with Bryce's mom and siblings. I am so excited after seeing all your pictures. You look so cute - I think they were worth the money. :) Do you have any suggestions...or hints like what to wear...or good restaurants in Jackson Hole?
