Dude, where's my Paddle

A step on the wild side today took us Down the Snake river. So we started off the day with a breakfast fitting of such an event. Eventually finishing we headed on over to Dave Hansen's log Cabin and put on our Splash suits and Booties ready for a boat trip down the river.
We had a short drive with 2 newly weds on their honeymoon discussing the best areas of America and the lack of animals we had noticed in the National Parks before offloading at the bank of the river.
The raft was slid in and we boarded, gracefully as ever. We made the wise choice and put Dad on the front to block some of the splash. After being lead through the basics we headed on down the river through beautiful scenery looking at the Osprey nests on the Power lines and Ferry mountains in the distance through large gorges. Oh, and a few rapids! We found ourselves on the whitewater bouncing around across the river.
We got to start off with the grade 2 Wake up rapids, through the rope rapids and on, wetter and wetter, albeit not as wet as dad got. We hit hidden rapids and splashed downwards into the Gaping holes of the river, through Whirlpools which can suck someone down with a Lifejacket for over 30 seconds at a time or flip a small boat.
Our boat just kept going as we headed on round the "blind bend" which held the view of "the Big Kahuna" beyond its rocks. The Grade 4 Rapid sent the boat downward into a massive hole sending the Guy with us into the lap of Dad which gave both people an uneasy moment before laughter ensued. Not sure if its better to fall into dad's lap or off the boat.
Our boat headed on into the deep water, which reached 70 feet down the entrance being an underwater water fall where the rocks dropped away with our boat falling down it. This sucked down air and let it out in thousands of bubbles nicknaming the area Champagne and they fizzed upwards onto the surface of the river.
Heading through more and more rapids we managed to beat the averages and not fall out before reaching dry land and heading off again after the awesome white water trip.
After the excitement we drove off in Search of the cable car and moose. The cable car took us up, past deer and Frisbee golf to an amazing panorama at the top of the would be Ski slopes. After realising just how cold it was and with fear of missing the last car we quickly headed back down again and went off down Moose Wilson road. We kept our eyes peeled the whole time, seeing tracks in the grass but no moose to be seen anywhere.
We were forced to give up and head back for another Steakhouse meal.
