Whitewater Rafting - Circa 2004

I found a bunch of old pictures from our whitewater rafting trip in 2004 (I think).  Here are the better ones. 

I like the movement in this one.  Looks like it was done with Photoshop.

It was actually not a gentle ride down a babbling brook as it appears in this picture.
This was actually not a gentle ride as it appears here.  The Nolichucky boasts a quarter-mile stretch of class 4 rapids, in which the raft we were following got pinned on an outcropping and we rammed into it sending its passengers flying out of it like children being tossed in a taut blanket.  We then played rescue crew and managed to pull a few survivors from the swirling abyss.  The raft was lost and we spent several hours on the side of the river waiting for another raft (which never came). 
A good shot of our crew.

A good shot of the crew.

We were mere acquaintances then.

My wife.  We were mere acquaintances then.
