[il-talk] Raft Trip

[Deborah Kent Stein]

Dear Bruce,

I have been whitewater rafting on two occasions. I went several years ago on a trip to Costa Rica, and another time more recently in California. I wrote about the Costa Rica trip a couple of issues back for the Illinois Independent. The only thing I did that could be considered an accommodation was to sit in the front of the raft so that I set the pace for paddling. The other rafters followed me rather than me having to follow them. It can also work for the guide or another rafter to call out the time: "Row! Row! Row!" This actually helps everybody stay together. 

Debbie

Hi All,
Has anyone been on a white water rafting trip? If so, what adaptive techniques have you used? If anyone in the Chicago Area went on such a trip, which tour company did you use? I was thinking about doing a raft trip near Starved Rock with some strangers from a MeetUp. They will use the Discovery Center.  I don't worry about swimming, just worry about someone hitting me with their paddle, or my not watching my blind spots...

Thanks,Bruce C. Paul
