What better way to spend a day off work than in a kayak on the river?
This morning around 10, I joined a group from Leavenworth Mountain Sports as they did a white-water trip down the Wentachee River. We had 4 other "IK"ers (Inflatable Kayakers) and a raft group with us. Although the water wasn't as high or as fast as the last time I kayaked, there were bigger holes and higher waves since the lower water levels changed the rapids. For example, one of the first rapids, "Drunkerds Drop" was still sporting a 10 foot wall of water. (which is a killer rush to hit head-on!) I'm happy to report that this time I didn't swim at all - even Grannies Panties! Whoop Whoop!!
The guides this time around, were Dan & The Bird Man. Check out my photos:
