Aspen Whitewater Rafting: An Overview of Rafting Trips on the Roaring Fork and Arkansas Rivers
Posted on 25. Aug, 2009 by admin in Aspen, Travel Writing
If you’ve never been on the river with a professional whitewater raft guide, there’s really only one part of the trip to mentally preparing for: bad humor that makes one smirk, then cringe:
What’s the difference between a raft guide and a large pizza?
A large pizza can feed a family of four.
What’s the difference between a raft guide and Bigfoot?
One’s a big, hairy, stinky animal and the other is a mythical creature.
How can you tell if a raft guide is lying?
His mouth is moving.
What do you call a raft guide without a girlfriend?
Homeless
You get the point. However, there’s nothing funny about the vital service a good raft guide provides to safely navigate you down a rocky river while you’re giggling in delight, screaming in white- knuckled fear, or clenching your paddle for a watery roller coaster ride.
