Jet Boat Vacation
Ben & I went on a jet boat tour down the Hells Canyon. It was a 200 mile round trip taking about 9 hours counting stops. At the turn around spot the rapids were class 4 and we went through a couple of them. I was a bit afraid. We saw lots of wildlife such as deer, eagle, a family of otters, mountain goats, and lots of birds. It was fun. Afterwards we went to a camping spot at a lake and rode a tram 8000 feet up a mountain. The ride took 15 minutes each way. I was a bit afraid then also. When you got to the top you could look out over valleys and mountains all four directions. It was really nice. Here are some pictures.
