Hell's Canyon Day 1

The campsite we stayed at before our launch had a great big climbing plum tree and loads of blackberry bushes. We called it the "bear cafeteria".


Getting ready to launch at the dam.

The canyon has beautiful rock formations!

Daddy, Shay Shay and I on "The Boat".



The view from the water was amazing!



The Wilson clan on the big yellow boat.



Daddy was able to fish and row at the same time! What a talent.

Here's the video of us going through the Wild Sheep Rapids:

The whole "Framily" at our first campsite



We won the river lottery this year and drew Hell's Canyon. We went with a big group of friends (our "framily") and left the kids at home with Gma R. Because there are so many pictures to share, I've split the trip into 4 separate posts. One thing we learned on this trip, the true meaning of "boatload of fun"!
