Grand Tetons/Yellowstone Day 4

Day 4 was the day of our Whitewater rafting trip with Dave Hansen rafting trips. I was really excited and nervous about this trip because I had never been whitewater rafting before. We of course didn't take cameras with us so the only pictures I have right now are the ones that the professional photographers took and I'm not sure how long they'll be online, but you can see them here. Looking at the pictures I'm on the front left and Graham is right behind me. Amy is front right and Bill is right behind her. Bill also took a waterproof film camera, but I imagine it will take me quite a while to get those pictures. For me the rafting trip was just a little appetizer. It wasn't nearly as thrilling as I was hoping and expecting. They were only Class II and Class III rapids, so I think we might go rafting again in Yellowstone on Class III and Class IV.

After the rafting trip I was a little disappointed because the Horse people told me when they found my I.D. they would bring it up to Dave Hansen's and when we got back at 3pm they still didn't have my license. So I knew that when we got home that night we would be doing some research on what I had to do in order to catch my flight back home. Bummer.

After our rafting trip we had a snack at Cutty's and then headed out for dinner and a show at the Bar J Chuckwagon. This was definitely a tourist trap, but a good one at that. You show up early and walk around this little town they have. You can go on a wagon ride, taste some steak and dutch oven biscuits that they were cooking, and they had a souvenir shop.

After walking around for a bit we sat and played games until dinner was ready. The food was mediocre but the show was fantastic! Definitely cheesy but really entertaining.
