At the beginning of this fine rafting trip, we all met at the church at 6:00 AM (and everyone was there on time too) and then departed at 6:15. After two and a half hours of driving, we finally arrived at Fast Rivers Rafting, the company that was supplying the necessary equipment. Not long after that we were on the river, and everything went well till near the end when one of our rafts was disabled when a sharp rock tore a large hole in the side. We had lunch about 1:30 PM and headed for another trip down the river at 2:15. After the second trip, we got dried off and headed for home, in which literally every scout fell asleep in the car. We stopped at Hardee's for dinner and then continued our trip home, arriving at about 9:30 PM at the church. It was a fine trip that went through (almost) flawlessly, and I honestly don't think it could have been any better.
