. White water rafting on Idaho's Payette river. Another raft but this one doesn't go as planned. And there aren't near as many as there was awhile ago. This one went into the rapids with eight citizens aboard. They even lost the guide who sits at the stern and guides the raft. All in fun, they regroup in the quiet water below the rapids and get back aboard.

Great fun, but when I have 10 days of groceries and equiment aboard, flipping is not an option.

You will take a bath, it's a matter of when. If you run white long enough you are going to take a bath (fall into the water).

Cool shots, no pun intended...
Great photography is not about being in the right place at the right time, it is about putting yourself in the right place at the right time.

. That's a bit much for the rafts. Maybe the kayakers would like it. .

Not THIS kayaker. I did see where a kayaker ran a 185 ft. fall successfully.
Some people are educated beyond their intelligence.
