How to go white water rafting
It made me
happy
 "I laughed so much that my stomach hurt. This is so much fun and I'm already looking forward to next time!"
How I did it: I have been talking about going white water rafting for the last couple of years but somehow it never quite happened. Until last weekend when I went to Hvítá river in Iceland with a group of 25 people. The best thing is that by doing this I was also working towards my goal to volunteer for 100 hours in 2009 since I when on this trip with a group of handicapped teenagers (15-25 years old). They had such a blast, and besides enjoying the ride myself, I felt so good being able to help them experiencing something they would otherwise not have been able to. Lessons & tips: Bring a warm sweater (fleece or wool) that you don´t mind getting wet, swim suit to wear under the neoprene pants, a towel to dry off after the rafting and some warm cloths to put on afterward Resources: http://adventures.is/Iceland/Rafting/

The company provided everything from the tents we camped in at their site, to life jackets, to… Read how I did it…

I went white water rafting in TN with my youth group and it was so much fun. I admit though I was scared at first because I had a fear of going over the raft (even though I can swim like a fish in water, but it is rough water with lots of rocks). I say ‘just do it’! =)

We have booked our spots on the trip down the Athabasca River for next Saturday. I’m so excited. It’s going to be such a blast! It will also be really exciting to check off my first achievement on 43things!

I’ve done this like twice before but the youth group hasn’t been going but I still want to go! Maybe I’ll get a little group to go or something.

My friend Carly and I have planned a weekend trip to Jasper with the sole purpose of going white water rafting. We just have to make the reservation. I’m really excited. She went when she was in Austria, apparently, and said she LOVED it and thinks that I will too. I hope so. I could use a rush right now!

Last year, Manda and Britt and I were going to go, but then my tonsils decided they hated me. So, hopefully this year we can go. The place in deerfield has white water rafting, but I think ziplining and white water rafting in one day would be painful.
