We went through River Drifters out of Maupin, OR to raft the Lower Deschutes River. There is a virtual river map as well here which outlines the rapids we traversed on the trip (click on the waves for pic and info).
I believe it was Shearers Falls Rapids (Class VI) that our crew decided to take the safer left side passage. After we were over we watched some rafts take the right side with lots of bodies in the water. In fact, one of those folks apparently dislocated a shoulder and that was game over for some of that crew. Guess we made the right choice even though most of us wanted to go for it.
Not too many pics since our camera is not waterproof but, here are a couple.
Top of the mountain to ya (Mt. Hood around 6:30am at that)...
Part of our crew getting prepped for the day (Ellen, Susan, Evyl, Mendy)...
Post trip relaxation and pain killer (Jaegar Bomb)...
The road less traveled (missed our turn onto 26 which lengthened our trip back substantially)...
