3rd Annual Jim Thorpe Rafting Trip


The 16

It's the day after another fantastic rafting trip with old friends and some new ones as well. One friend even drove out from Detroit just for the weekend. We had a great time out in Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania that started on Friday and went through Sunday with our half day of rafting on Saturday. It was a dam release weekend so there were more rapids than usual in August. Some parts of the river took a lot of work which resulted in some sore muscles the next day, in my case, the near inability to walk. I'm fine, just really, really sore. It was definitely worth it and we'll go back next year and every year thereafter if we can.

Margaritas and gourmet food, which included a deep fried turkey, yes, that's right, a deep fried turkey along with fire baked potatoes, corn, and even stuffing. The night before included the famous 7 layer dip (although I think after finally reading the label correctly, it actually says 6...but it tastes like 7!), deep fried egg rolls, crab cakes, popcorn chicken, chicken shish kebabs, and more. I have to give my personal thanks to Costco for providing us with our excellent menu for the weekend. Oh, did I mention that we had these delicious Jimmy Dean sausage and egg sandwiches that they grilled up for breakfast? Awesome. Thanks to Paul for manning the mini-grill each morning. And how can I possibly forget the smores! Thanks to Sonia for hooking us up with all the sweet treats.

I took over 150 photos of our super silly fun time and will eventually upload video to YouTube for all to see. Don't worry, you're names will never be released to protect your innocence...or not-so-innocence.

Enjoy!
