Whitewater rafting trip, day 3 of 3. I participated in a riverside yoga class by Toby which was also attended by Ben C, BJ, and Chun L. Breakfast. Group photo. We continued rafting, stopping at times along the way to pick up trash that we encountered or to pick wild blackberries. We stopped for lunch at a place where water entered the river from a higher source, and a somewhat fun yet treacherous path of sorts uphill led us through a glen to a few sets of waterfalls where we took many photos. We continued rafting then alighted so that the rafting guides could take our rafts through a particularly tricky run on their own. We hiked a short path over a large hill of rocks and had a pretty good view of the run from far above. We continued rafting until the end of our trip. Rode the school bus back for about an hour drinking cold bottled water along the way. Back at the campground where we camped on Friday, I successfully retrieved my LuminAid inflatable solar lamps that I had laid out to charge Saturday morning and forgot to pack. We retrieved our gear that had come along with us on the river, packed it in our cars, said our goodbyes to both rafters and guides, gathered tips for the guides (I put in $30), and drove home. In the car I rode, we agreed we wanted to get home more than we were hungry, so we chose to not stop along the way for dinner. We dropped Jose off first, then at Scott and Andy's I said goodbye and rode UberX home.
