The Final Day

When we woke up to the news that we had been sleeping on Scorpian Beach and that some previous raft trips had been so thick with scorpians that the whole raft trip had slept on the boats, we were a bit unnerved.

However, the coffee drinkers were glad to just have some coffee and we were all eagerly awaiting the announcement of what Rick and Josh would make us for breakfast (DeAnna was still asleep .. a-gain). And this time it was French Toast.

Overall, this was just a feast of a trip.

This third day was short since were going to clean up and pull out at noon. A good part of it was also on the lake at the bottom of this run.

We parked the boat once just sort of letting it float while we all swam. DeAnna entertained with front flips off the bow of the boat and Josh and Ryan found some nice cliffs to jump off of. The rest of us were contented with some swimming and such.

Further down we moored for lunch and pretty much ate everything that was left in the boat with DeAnna pushing the last slices of fruit, pickles, chips, and cookies on whoever would take them.

DeAnna finished off the sliced vlasics. I personally was willing to sacrifice for the team and eat the last apple slices, last several handfuls of tortilla chips, and one of the cookie boxes. Mary Ann finished off the watermelon for us and Rick knocked off the remaining Sour Cream onion pringles.

When we got back to the landing where we would take out, we had another couple of hours of work while we unpacked the boats and helped load the trucks. Then washed the boats as best we could (as well as throwing several buckets of water at each other and the raft guides).

From there it was back into a different van (this one didn't break down) and onto the road. For me, the next highlight was my first Pepsi in three days since all of mine had gotten left behind on the white van.

So ended our rafting trip.

I'll post a few more stories in the next few days and if anyone wants me to post something for them, then send it along.
