A Day In Maupin OR - Part 1 - Rafting the Deschutes River
These are from a little trip to Maupin OR in August of 2013 to do some rafting and camping. A friend of mine at the time had been doing a big remodel on an old ranch in the area. Near the end of the job he treated his employees and friends to a little rafting and a campout on the ranch property. In the following images I am the guy in the neon green/yellow shirt. :)
The pictures in this installment were provided by River Drifters Rafting and taken by a photographer unknown to me. They were taken with a Canon EOS 20D and 30D. The GIFs were created by me, @oldmans, using Imgflip.

"Who wants to ride point?" the guide asked. "It will be fun" she said.
As she deftly steered us into the hole and the churning white water ahead...
The volunteer point man was lost to a wall of water.
Only his feet remained to be seen.
If you zoom in close to the guide's face you will see a sly smile that seems to say "Got another one".
Here is a gif of the same sequence of photos.
More Fun In The Rapids

Getting a little air.
A little more air. :)
Pretty proud of our accomplishment. 😂

I'm a bot. I detect haiku.
You are welcome. I am hoping to go again someday soon. 😀
It's a pretty fun trip; more water there than when I did it... last time in the late 1990's.
good
That was my second time. First in the early '90s. This must have been a high water year, I seem to remember seeing a lot more rocks my first time also.
Rafting it' a very adventure and emotional!!!
It definitely is!
If you want to, then come to Bangladesh and review our Beauty. If possible.
I would like to do that someday.😀
Ha ha.... fantastic photography and gif. Love it.
I agree, whoever took these did an excellent job. They were very well centered and that made the gifs very easy to produce.
