Whitewater Rafting - June 2000

While visiting my brother, Pete, we went whitewater rafting on the Clear Creek which runs below his house (with the Clear Creek Rafting Company). The water was ~34 degrees F, having just come from melting snow at higher elevations, so we wore wet suits, splash jackets, helmets, and life jackets. Our feet still froze! We (the adults plus Sarah) went through several stretches of Category IV rapids, then the younger kids (Kim, plus her cousins Megan and John) joined us for an hour of beginner rapids. Kim took several pictures of the five of us (plus guide) running the rapids before joining the fun!

Here we are stopped for a moment:
