We got one of the prized spots on the pattleboat! Terran is front, boat-right. Susan is in the middle, boat-left. You can see her back.

Getting smashed by a HUGE wave
We made it through
Now we're safe

Attempting to break the record of number of people to sit on a Duckie (target number = 8, current number = 4)
The Duckie is already sinking
On the river, more canyon
A smal rapid ahead
View from a Duckie (I think Terran took these)
We should mention that Terran was the undisputed Duckie king of the expedition
Cooking dinner

Goofy group photo from "dressing up for dinner" night. Susan is in purple, front row, mid-right. Terran is taking the picture.
