That's not expensive, but it looks very dangerous. I almost went white-water rafting on the Colorado River once. Now that's scary. |

The money aspect doesn't bother me so much, obmar, it's being slammed against the rocks while underwater that scares me. Still, I wouldn't mind being the photographer if others wish to demonstrate how not to raft. I take good pictures.
