Everybody seated inthis raft looks very calm. I would of had a
petrified look of terror on my face.
Is there a limit to the amount of rafters
passing House Rock, or is it "the earliest
raft arrives there first?"

Re: Everybody seated inNormally everyone waits and takes their turn but my raft lost its hold on the rock we were using to keep us "waiting" behind GGR. So combined with GGR's unexpected jamming we ended up shoved together.
Our experienced guides said that in their many combined years along that stretch it hadn't happened before.
I was a bit apprehensive since we had 2x as many people in one raft as normal and we all could have ended up 'swimmin' all the way down to Buena Vista but it was kinda funny especially if you look at the kid's face on the far right. He's right up against a rock and he's not watching the guides unjam the rafts.
Larry, we'd go on a smooth stretch with Class II and III rapids and you'd do fine rafting with me!

Re: Everybody seated inYeah, I noticed that regarding the kid on the
far right! He looks like he's looking UP at
something ... perhaps a butterfly?
I just checked the USGS flow rates for
Arizona's Verde River. It's currently flowing
at 1,690 cubic feet per second.
I'm growing weary of looking at red rocks,
so I think I'll journey down to the Verde
River for a peek.
I really love your pictures. It seems like
each one of them tells a story.

Re: Everybody seated inThanks Larry! I've taken your example this time. And let's not get into that butterfly thread ;)
