The Middle Fork at 6' was a bit more intense than any of us anticipated. Overall, we were a bit outside of our comfort zone with only a two boat trip. Luckily there were numerous other parties also feeling a bit taxed and they were more than happy at the suggestion to team up and go for some safety in numbers. The only problem was the other groups were having a more difficult time on a whole than we were. Granted, we flipped both of our boats during the course of the trip, but other groups were getting stuck on logs, wrapping boats, flipping numerous times, getting stuck under their boats, sustaining injury and flying out of the canyon. There was a fair bit of carnage, but it really seemed to up the camradery between the various parties on the river.
Oh, the Middle Fork is awesome! 120 miles of wilderness boating through an incredible canyon with lots of hot springs. I can't wait to do this trip again. The sooner the better. Maybe next time I will go a bit later in the season with slightly lower water and a bit more sunshine.

It seems you went rafting on that pics. My father is the person who introduce rafting in Indonesia. He used to takes me rafting when I was a child.
When he was young, in about 70's, he ever brought some people from Colorado to raft in the one of the wildest river in Borneo (Kalimantan), Indonesia.
