Summit in Jackson Pt 2

I was already thrilled with the first half of the Summit Adventure Workshop, but the second half was even better! Day 4 we woke up bright and early to go white water rafting on the river. While the river was low, it worked well for us since we needed to keep our camera gear dry.

It was rainy, cloudy, stormy, and the event was washed out. I don't remember much else besides spending the weekend playing Red Rover in a rainy field, so this trip was like rediscovering Nantucket all over...
