So my friend Peter's 30th birthday was this past week and to celebrate, his family sent me and 6 other lucky guys (including Pete) on a rafting trip down the Colorado River through Cataract Canyon. It was an amazing trip and I will be forever grateful that his family was so generous and thoughtful. Pictures from the actual rafting trip were collected on disposable cameras that are still being developed and Colin's digital camera which he had a waterproof case for. But I had a handful of photos from our first and last days in Moab where the average temperature was 105 degrees.

We spent 3 days on the river with our very cool guides Rob and Tanner who made us some excellent meals and navigated us on two rafts and two duckies through a low but still class 4-ish rocky path down to Lake Powell. It was a perfect mixture of excitement, chill time, predictable events and unpredictable craziness. Absolutely massive trip. the pictures will have to speak for themselves and I can't wait to see and hopefully post the rest.
