Great write up Eric. We all learned a great deal during this river adventure. Planning to write a blog post about those lessons soon. Keep it fresh and read it often. And yes...We'll do it differently next time, starting with knowing "exactly" what we are getting ourselves into.

Super glad you are alive and well. While the ER is not my ideal after river experience, it is definitely better that at least one of the alternatives.

Mistakes happen and we learn valuable lessons both individually and as a group. Looking forward to many more river adventures with you! :)
