Thompson River, Lytton, BC
Bob organized a big group to go white-water rafting on the Thompson River in the scenic mountains of southern BC! Hyak Rafting offers paddle-rafting (where you get to do the paddling yourself), but we opted for the powerboat ride, where we have a guide who drives a 16-person raft with a powerful four-stroke motor. The powerboat is able to go through bigger rapids, and we didn't have to do any strenuous work, just hold on for the ride! That's good for us non-swimmers! The photos here are from two waterproof disposable cameras (no, I didn't bring my big heavy digital SLR on the boat); it's in reverse chronological order, one roll after another. Our group was split on two boats, so each boat had a camera. I think everyone had a good time, and it was good fun getting to know folks from Bob's other social circles!
