THE DAY WE ALMOST DIED

HAHAHA!  NOT REALLY! We joke about this day and call it the "day we almost died" haha.  We're currently in Northern California camping about 30 miles from Kermit's brother Noah and our friend Johnny came out for a visit from Pennsylvania.  None of us had ever been white water rafting and Kermit signed us up for some intense rapids!  We had no idea what we were getting into and that was the fun part!  We took off for an all day raft, 17 miles down the Middle Fork of American River.....

Whew! We made it through this Class 4PLUS rapid called Tunnel Chute without flipping! This was about 5 minutes into the trip.
