White Water Rafting (Merced River)


Advertisement

Hello Everyone!

We have spent the last few days at Yosemite National Park. It was really awesome. No cell phone or e-mail. Mist trail was incredible and the weather was the best we have had.

Today we went white water rafting. We attached a few pictures from that to show you. Click on the individual photos for a larger view. Pete is in the front seat and will be on your left (right side of the boat) and Culver is right behind.

Tomorrow morning we hit the road heading east. We are keeping this entry short and sweet but will update it again soon with details about both Yosemite and White Water Rafting.

Only one stop planned for the way home, Chicago to see Binky and Pat Jam. Maybe Leroy Brown? We put Binky in charge of scouting out the best restaurant to get pizza.

Talk to you soon!

Pete and Culver

Ok, ok, rock that boat!
You rafting maniacs ! Great white water, I can tell and the pictures help for sure. I love being out there in the badlands and deserts, so I envy you. Here's a tip from an old man: When you drive back, try some AM radio in the car from the heartland of America. I know it sounds odd and not fun to recommend, but I have hitched across America a few times, and gotten the white line fever, and so I know how bored sometimes the highway can be--- AM radio America is this time warp window into a separate realtiy out there in microwave space. Back in the day, my day, way before cell phones, color TV, Nike, when Elvis was King, and students were hitchhiking across the universe, the AM radio world of middle America was weird, wild, off the wall, and bizzaro. Lots of religious channels, and survialists, and other fringe elements that call in talk radio. Plus at night, AM radio gets stronger, and you can hear stations from 2 thousand miles away. Right there in your car, you can transport yourself from the asphalt reality to another zone. Back in the 50's uncle Pat and I used to be able to listen to baseball games with the Pirates on KDKA radio in Pittsburg, one of the first megawatt stations in the world. Plus if you like stories, try National Public radio's "This American Life." Now that's some interesting work. There are NPR stations in every city in the USA. Ok, I am done with my old man speech, love you, Uncle Tax
