Flood Stage Rafting Trip in a canoe


This was awesome!
Jared and I canoed the Platte River June 11, at flood stage. Flood Stage is 9' above the normal level. We moved at 10mph at times (3X the normal speed)! I'm not allowed to tell all the details but I can tell you we slammed into a bridge blocked by floating trees and almost sunk the canoe while hanging onto a tree. Later we navigated through 3-4' waves and witnessed whole trees tumbling down the river beside us. We survived!
