Inadvertent Swim in the Arkansas River

While rafting with his wife and two grand children through the Royal Gorge, in Colorado, the author of this blog went over the side of the raft, and then floated perilously down a boulder strewn field of rapids. The kids were screaming, "Grandpa's going to drown," and the novice guide tried frantically to catch up to me. All that was lost was my pride. It dries out fast, though. Two cameras miraculously survived undamaged, one that was waterproof, and a second that was in a platic baggie. My false teeth made it through, too, but they are use to being wet.
