DelhiDog! That was an awesome video of the "un-flippable" thing on the Wenatchee River.

L!!! Great to see your favorable input & wonderfull to see you back on ST.

Thanks to all for posting!


Here's a link to our 1990's adventure on Idaho's Bruneu River, where Heidi flipped the "Toy-boat" and nearly killed her sister. The "Toy-boat" has three-flips to its credit and Heidi experienced them all.

BIG Water on the Bruneau! A rafting epic.

Since we are posting rafting-porn videos, here's one of Catarafts on Idaho's N. Fork Payette. Highway on one side & old railroad on the other combined with a steep gradient makes for very-serious boating. Swimming is not a survivable option, except for the very-lucky.

Heidi is either extremely lucky or extremely unlucky...not sure which. ;-)

What a fabulous epic--I loved it! And that clip made my stomach hurt just watching it.
