My Latest Adventure:
Rafting the Wenatchee

My latest adventure was riding the rapids on the Wenatchee (aka: Wa-snatch-ee) River from Levenworth to Cashmere.  Early on the 1st of July, my brothers and I hooked up with the Boeing Employees Whitewater & Touring Club, aka: BEWET (visit Bewet's website here).  Why isn't it BEWTC?  Oh well, one of life's little mysteries.

Continuing on, I met up with my brothers and we drove to Levenworth.  Enroute, we stopped at a McDonald's and had some sort of breakfast-steak-sandwich-thing.  I don't know what kind of meat was on it, but I can't believe that it was from anything domesticated.  Back at Levenworth...  We arrived to cheers from the crowds.  Waving and smiling, we parked and unloaded the gear.  Next, we donned our form-fitting wetsuits.  When I removed my shirt to put my suit on, someone yelled, "Bear!"  I didn't see one anywhere though.  Once I had the wetsuit on, I stood admiring myself in front of the mirror.  When no one was looking, a strategically placed a potato within (visit Speedo Potato Man here).  Then I broke out in song:  "I'm too sexy for my hat!  Too sexy for my hat!  What chu think about that?!"  I topped it off with robot dancing.  The girls swooned.

We inflated the raft and put into the river.  Once the BE-ATCH, or whatever they're called, group launched, so did we.  We paddled and got going.  Soon, we were at some rapids which we negotiated easily.

After a series of rapids, we approached Satan's Eyeball, the biggest rapid on the river.  We, of course, renamed it the Devil's Bung Hole.  As we neared it, Vic screamed:  "My Gawd!"  I turned, slapped him and yelled, "Get hold of yourself man!  We need you!"  "I'm okay," he replied.  Okay, that didn't happen, but it could have.  We went into the rapids.  We were engulfed in the torrent and propelled at an unimaginable speed.  We were tossed to and fro.  Water poured into the raft.  The nose of the boat shot high into the air.  Water sprayed into our eyes.  We paddled.  Dave cried out:  "You guys row like little girls!  Row, you bunch of worthless water weenies!  Row like you've never rowed before!"  And we did.  We paddled as no one has ever paddled before...oars flailing, only occasionally striking the water.  It was a sight.

Damn, this is getting way too long.  Plus, I have no cool graphics.  Okay, so, any way, we made it and then we went home.  The end.
