Rafting on the Thompson

October 15-17, 1999

Preparations

The boats needs to be inflated before one can go on the river.

After that the equipment is mounted onto the boats.

Since we have so few passaengers, one of the boats will be this oaring boat.

Launching the boats into the river at the put-in.

The man in the back of the raft is guiding,
the people in front have to follow his commands.
