Hettie & Chad December 2011 Trip Report

[Caught]

Hettie,
Super trip report, I'm glad it came up again so all could see. Can you tell me about the raft you are using in the first series of pics? Did you take it with you or was it at the round house? I'm trying to find something to take that's easy to pack and a little more reliable than the cheap plastic ones.

Hi Caught-- That is my float, I always take it with us. The brand is Swimways and I think I bought it on Amazon. It's a really awesome float because it twists in to a flat disc when deflated and fits in a regular size suitcase (not carry-on). You also can blow it up with just lung power, no need for a pump. Because it's mesh in the middle, you float partially submerged, which is nice and cool. It is rather lightweight also. I highly recommend getting one. It has held up very nicely for four lengthy reaches. It still looks new.
