River Trip

     It started out like every other day. But today was just a little difference. Today was the day that we were going on our river trip. We were not going down the biggest of rivers, it was just the Enroee River in Woodruff.
     It had rained a few days before so the timing was perfect. My older brother Cole, his friend Alex, and myself loaded up our kayaks and the rest of our gear and headed out around lunch time. We had to take two cars, one as the pick up vichicle and the other as the drop off vichicle.
     Both of the cars were parked on other people's properties and walked our boats to the river. When we reached the river we saw that there was at least a class three rapid. We started just a stones throw up the river from the rapid and the plan was right before we went down it we would pull over to the side and scout it out.
     My brother and his friend went first. They some how before the rapid pull off and were waiting on me. I was not so lucky. I did not have enough power to land my boat, so I decided to go for the rapid. About ten feet out my brother told me to get out of there. So I listened to my brother and exited the boat. the water was only knee deep so i had no problem standing. So when I got up I looked over and saw a big rock that my boat had not only got stuck on, but with the force of the water had rapped all the way around the rock.
     If I had stayed in the boat I could have easily drownd with all the water that was pounding on the rock. I was lucky that brother could see the rock and told me to get out of there.
     We did end up getting the boat out with no serious damage and continued our trip. The rest of the trip was a success.
