So i got some free stuff through work and one was to go and see some Bald Eagles in Squamish. Which is a little town just south of Whistler. Not very exciting i hear you say but i was told we were rafting! so i could see potential!!!
I turned up at 0830 after a heavy night of drinking not feeling to happy! but i made the trip anyway!! feelin a little better after a sleep on the way dow i open the truck to temperatures of -20degrees !! F'ing cold!! i put on my survival suite! i wanted two! and sat in my raft!! ready to attack some rapids!! the instructor informs me that this is a placid river and there are no rapids! and had no idea where i got that info from! not a good start!
But i battle through!ahha!!! a Bald Eagle just across the river! quite a big bird and was nice to see! but i would rather have gone snowboarding!!! we set off in the raft for 1 1/2 hours goin at a snails pace down a stream!! looking at eagles! and take it from me if you've seen one you've seen em all!
after asking the guide for an extra pair of gloves and socks to prevent frost bite he produced the highlight of the trip!! HOT CHOCOLATE!!! then another half hour of freezing my ass off!!!
once on shore i lept oif the raft and ran to the van to warm up leaving the others to drag the raft out of the water! harsh you may think....but how many of you have ever sat on a raft for nearly 2hours in temps of -20degrees! dont judge me!!!!
