My friend Dharani and I headed to eastern Washington the weekend after I graduated with my Masters for a white water rafting adventure on the Wenatchee River. We spent the night at my aunt’s house in Leavenworth and woke up early the next morning to head to Cashmere, where our adventure began. We poured ourselves into our uber attractive wetsuits and took some pictures while we waited to board the yellow school bus that took us to our launch spot.
I think we were both nervous since the river was higher than normal for the time of the year and there had been reports of some tragedies on the river in weekends past. After a quick safety training, we took to the rapids of the river and I snapped some pictures with my new waterproof camera when I wasn’t busy paddling as if my life depended on it.
Of course the pictures they took captured the intensity of the day much better:
I look forward to my next white water rafting experience since the trip was so much fun and definitely gave me an awesome adrenaline rush! Since then, I have been getting lots of tips for good places to go to and can’t wait for next summer. Of course before our adventure was over, though, Dharani and I stopped at the adorable Anjou Bakery for an afternoon snack.
