What a fantastic trip. Six nights and seven days on the river. Started off at Lees Ferry AZ. The first rapid was Badger rapid where we got stuck between two rocks (or a rock and a hard place). The back end of the boat was stuck and we were there for four hours. With 17 people, all the gear, etc. we could have flipped. The captain got on her emergency telephone and they were going to send a rescue helicopter to get us out one by one. Before that, two rangers arrived in their boats. The water was coming over into the boat. I wasn't too upset as I have lived with cancer for ten years. The rangers were telling us if we fell in they would send ropes to get us out. We shoved and shook the boat and finally got out and went on our way. The rest of the trip was too exciting to go into detail. Give me a call if you want a full story!
