W.I.L.D Idaho Expedition by Max

For the past 3 days we have been on the South Fork of the Boise, rafting and kayaking and on the Hagerman-to-Bliss section of the snake . We used the big oar rafts to cary all our gear.  Sean and one other person were in the raft the whole time.  Kristin stayed in a kayak the whole time and every one else switched off from being in a kayak to raft the whole time. Harry was in the raft for the first part of the day. Then he switched with Maggie so she was in the raft for the second part of the day. We found a campsite which we stayed at for the night... it was really nice campsite.  We had a good dinner and then went and talked and did our 3 day forecast. We woke early the next morning  and packed up and got going on the raft. I was the first person on the raft with Sean that morning.  So then we got going down the river... I was in the raft for a little bit but Challis started to get a little spooked kayaking, so I switched with him and I was the person kayaking.  We went for a while and then ran down "Raspberry Rapid."  Megan did really good and then we got going we were finishing up the last part of the river were Megan was in the raft. Then we got to the take out, packed every thing up, and drove 3-4 hours to the Snake River, where we camped for the night.  We woke up early, packed up our gear, and drove to the put-in. Sean ran shuttle, literally running back to the put-in, and we got going the river was really good the waves were really good.  And then we got to the Bliss Wave, which made this section famous. It was AWESOME... the wave was huge and fun!
