Phelps Family: Lochsa

White water rafting was another bucket list Bryan and I marked off this summer! We went and did the Lochsa River with my sister Tanya, her husband TJ, and a few of our friends. It was such a great time! We did a lot of class 3 and 4 rapids. It is amazing how a rapid will just engulf a raft and you will still come up out of it. I fell in and had to be fished out by my handsome husband. One minute you are paddling in the boat and the next you are in water wondering where the heck the surface is. I had a moment of panic and I felt like I was under there forever. Tanya and Bryan said they looked over, saw I was missing, had a moment of panic, and then saw my little yellow helmet popped up out of the water. I was lucky to be pretty close to the boat when I came back up. Didnt take too long to get me back in. Our boat got really lucky and had the smaller crew. Only 4 of us on the boat instead of 6 plus our guide. We got to do a lot more adventure lines through the rapids because of this. We were so light that a couple of times when we hit the rapid we would send our guide flying through the air into Tanya's lap! Side note: our guides were GREAT! Could not have asked for a better crew to take us down the river!! It was an amazing weekend! Already set to do it again next year!
