Highlights from the Dragon?!?! That is hard to say .... the entire time was AWESOME. The only sad thing about the trip is that I have to sleep at some point - I don't want the fun to stop. I think the best thing about this trip in general is the lack of "boring time." There are so many people to talk to & things to do that you can't find yourself standing around with nothing to do.

My two favorite moments had to be an early morning solo run thru the Dragon & white water rafting.

Dragon run was perfect .... 49F (car loves the cold), heat on (Kim doesn't love the cold), classic rock playing, singing at the top of my lungs thru Hellbender - a lot more concentration on the Dragon, no LEO's, no one in front, no one behind and almost no one on the other side of the road. I hit it so hard that I was shaking at the other end ..... turned around & hit it even harder going back to the lodge. I saw a bunch of other XF's crossing the bridge on Hellbender, but I was already on my way back to go white water rafting.

I loved the white water rafting!!! I went with Nick, Dan, Jane, Troy & Megan. We had an amazing guide named Ryan. How amazing you ask? Well he pulled Nick out of the water 3x & Troy 1x. He kept asking us if we wanted to try things that sounded fun like a "tube dip" or a "boulder roll". We are a bunch of adventure loving souls so of course the answer was a very loud YES!!! Nick actually set a new record for the most times that the same person has had to be rescued on the same trip for that river .... GOOOOOOO NICK!!! Or as we now call him "Bob the human cork." We took Ryan & another guide Gumby (he was 6'7" and about 180lbs) to lunch. We were nice enough to let them ride with Nick & Jane in their SRT's. We figured the guides showed us their adventure now it was up to us to show them ours!!! Super nice guys & a great time was had by all. Don't believe Nick when he tells you how cold the water was .... it was chilly but we were in wet suits & he wasn't even shivering after 3 dunkings. Everyone will have to try it next Dragon!!!

Great trip, great times, great friends .... what more can a girl ask for?!?!
