Rafting in Sunriver

So we went on what was supposed to be a lazy rafting trip from the Sunriver marina down the Deschutes River for six miles. It was pretty much as advertised: lazy summer day. We stopped for a picnic along the way on the shore. But on the final 500 yards we struck a stray log along the side and successfully ruptured the raft. Thanks to Drew's dutch-boy imitation (he plugged the hole in the raft with his finger) and Diane's handy paddling, we made it. Seriously, if he hadn't plugged the hole a family of five would have been swimming swiftly in 55 degree water for the final 500 yards...
