So much water moving, Underneath the bridge, Let the water come and carry us away

For the most part, you can trust Jilian's description of our awesome whitewater adventure this past weekend. However, she omitted a few minor facts:

1. While it is fine to grab a fresh skewer at the business end while putting brats on it to cook, one that has already been used to cook should not be handled in such a manner (right Jilian?)
2. Six and seven are not equal and there are no swamp creatures trying to board rafts on the New (Monica, meet Andrew - he was on the boat earlier, he fell overboard, now he is climbing back on)
3. Yes Bill, I can eat a 12 inch sub when it may be my last meal
4. Sun warmed ripe berries picked off the vine and quickly thrown into your mouth are the best
5. Joel is a wimp for not "showering" under the falls
6. Frisbee is a great way to pass time and hang with friends
7. Waterlogged railroad ties aren't as heavy as you might imagine
8. 5-6 people can really throw an "ethnic" pretty far using a raft as a catapult
9. 1 person can fairly easily turn over an overturned raft
10. Andrew does an impressive 1 1/4 forward flip off of a high rock
11. Supporting the Grandin Theatre can be lots of fun
12. 62 is not old

Thanks Bill for donating the trip to the Grandin and for being a great guide, thanks Karyn for letting me bid on it and for letting me use the van, thanks gang for coming with me and making the trip such a blast, and thanks weather for being perfect.

I can't wait for the next adventure!
