Hank, Dad & I headed to Albertson Gorge on a day that the temps were higher than ever, 100 degrees for a rafting trip. When we arrived we were greeted by the owner Jason and our guide Zach. Zoo Town Surfers rafting company was set to take us down the long awaited river. The raft was ready for us and we were soon off for an my first white water rafting trip. We were fortunate enough to paddle a sport boat that darted through the gorge peppering us with water as we went through 15 rapids. Hank and I took the front of the boat as Zach made sure we hit each wave and get as soaked as possible. The rapids increased in size as we headed toward the lower end of the river with the waves doubling. We had the chance to swim along the raft between rapids which cooled things down quickly. The scenery around us was amazing as we spotted 3 bald eagles and a coyote along the river bank. The ride was great from start to finish and Zach & Jason ended the great day with a bowl of chips and salsa. Awesome day!

The place to be is wherever Jack was on this gig. Looks like way too much adventure with no terra ferma to jump on. Zoo heat cool off and looks like scary whitewater. Beyond most comfort charts.
