Colorado Pictures

Here are a few pictures from my Colorado Trip. I have a TON more (and I have some zip line video), so you may be seeing more as the weeks come. I had some time to play with a few of them so I thought I would share.



This rapid was known as Sunshine. Our guide said that we went though the BEST he has done it all summer. I'm sure he was just saying that, but we felt good. Until we got stuck on a rock a couple of rapids down.
(I did fall in while rafting. almost twice...they gave us a HUGE speech on the way up on WORST CASE SCENARIO'S, you know, one of those speeches that make you want to back out immediately. I remembered 2 main points from the speech. #1 DON'T PANIC and #2 if I fall in my adopted name is Swimmer. So as I was falling in I kept saying to myself don'tpanicandmynameisswimmer,don'tpanicandmynameisswimmer. It happened so fast that I was back in the boat before you know it. As you can tell I am in back by the guide and you can also see he has big muscles, so he pulled me in REAL quick. The 2nd time I really don't think he wanted me to fall in where we were at so he grabbed me REAL fast, but my behind was in, so I think he yanked me up by the legs. Would I go again: ABSOLUTELY!)


Our cabin in the middle of nowhere. Seriously, took us at least a 1/2 hour to get here, up winding mountian roads with no railings. We drove slow. I should say Jenny and Megan drove slow. Great job ladies!
