Rafting the White Salmon River

thumb1 thumb2 thumb3

Today, Roy and I took a half-day rafting trip down the White Salmon River.

The trip includes several class IV rapids and an 18-foot jump off a ledge into the river during a portage (I got a nose full of water).

The grand finale is a 12-foot plunge over Husum Falls. We had to practice several times before going over: paddle, paddle, right up to the edge, then squat low in the boat and grab the safety cords with both hands.
