10-13 — Survived Lava Falls Party.

The header says it all.

WhiteWater rowed. MarkMark got out of his fetal position to row, and only Gena bounced out (and then in) of Paula’s boat… swimmer 11 of 14 on this trip.

I wore my river booty bow tie through the rapid — we were the first boat. Not perfect according to Jamie, but we didn’t flip or dump people.

Thai chicken stir fry for the celebration dinner. JimBob brought out Gin and Tonics, several people brought out Maker’s Mark, add sparklers and costumes and you have a celebration.

MarkMark still dead to the world with whatever he has — but he pulled it together for the run through the falls. The crew has him on Cipro and chicken noodle soap — which is much better than having him helicoptered out, which I thought was more my option than his.

Part of me is looking forward to a real shower and a bed (and ice in my drink), but part of me knows that I will miss the camaraderie of this adventure.
