Going downstream through rapids in a tube or raft is one thing, but hitting them going upstream at 60km/h is another thing altogether. And that is also not the same as hitting them at the same speed but going downstream. Today John, Dean, and I took Deans boat out on the Kalum river for some riverboating. It was pretty extreme. We jumped the boat off a log that had fallen in the river, and went through some pretty decent rapids. I guess people might do this other places, but having ACDC blaring from the boat made it seem more Terrace-ish. That and the fact that we couldnt find a boat launch so we drove the truck/trailer into the river and drove down through the river until we found a gravel bed big enough to launch the boat from.
