Today was our jet boat ride into Hell's Canyon. The boat had 43 pax and 3 enormous Ford engines. The engines powered pumps that spewed high pressure water out the back. Our captain told us that when the boat was on the step it's draft was only 12 inches. We went up river 54 miles. There were some exciting rapids but the boat was pretty big and we were doing them in reverse, so I didn't get too excited. We stopped for over an hour at a Nature Conservancy property for a box lunch. My box had Cheetos. Wow, I had forgotten how delightful Cheetos were, but I digress. The property was once owned by some guy who used to fly into it. Jenny is standing on the runway in one of the pics. Calling it a runaway is a stretch. Anyway, the boat ride plus a couple of stops took almost 7 hours. I would rate the trip 5 stars. We are here one more day.
Wow more stunning pics. How many people were on this boat?
