Rafting on the Tieton

September 10-12, 1999

Preparations Raft Puma

Preparations at the put-in. The boats needs to be inflated and setup before one can go on the river.

My first and third trip on the Tieton were in a regular raft. One guide and four to six peddlers are used to sail such a boat.

My second rafting trip on the Tieton was in the 'Puma'. This is a small oaring raft with two peddlers in the bow.

Martin Barbeque

Paddling on a raft. Because of the rocks and trees in the river,
helmets were mandatory on the Tieton.

In the evening American's always have a barbeque!
Since everybody brings his own food, they actually call it a 'potluck'.

Mount Rainier Martin

On the way back to Seattle, one has a nice view on Mount Rainier
