Today's notes:

Today we got up early and packed up the campsite and headed to downtown Moab for breakfast. After that we went on a rafting trip with a company in downtown Moab. This was pretty much a float trip with only one and two class rapids, but we loved it. It was a beautiful day so we enjoyed the view on the river, plus we didn't go down in a guided raft. We followed them in an inflatable kayak, which was a pretty good time. There was another two guys that took a kayak, and since I'm not an adventure snob I won't make fun of them, but they had no idea how to paddle a boat or kayak. As a tip I would say that when you are in this situation take the guide's advice and stay between two of the guided rafts, and don't go in front of the entire group. That way you don't miss the turn off, and nobody has to come rescue you while you are trying to paddle upstream and the rest of the group is waiting on you to go home.

After rafting we ate Chinese for lunch and made our way back into Colorado. Soon after we crossed the border we stopped in Grand Junction to see my high school friend Jason and spend the night at his house. He cooked us a really good dinner, and then we just hung out talking and having some beer and KY whisky before going to bed.
