5/12, 10:05am - JULIE - Hey Jennifer! Super random and last minute-like usual- but we have a spot open on river trip leaves May 16 and comes back the 24th if you're interested...
5/12, 11:09am - ME - Put me down for yes. I'm making this work!
Next thing I know I'm loading the rafts with all the fresh produce, meats and filling up the side tubes with the amazing crew at Arizona River Runners.

I was a 'Work Your Way' which literally meant, I worked my way for the trip. Ever hear the saying 'fake it til you make it'? Welp, that was me. I had no idea what I was doing, but of course it didn't stop me, with a few great teachers, I had that shit down by day 2. Everyone was asking how many trips down the river I've done! CHAMP!

Trips like this I always struggle on bringing my 'good camera.' Of course I always want to bring the Nikon D4, but it's not always the easiest to travel with, especially on a river rafting trip. Well, of course I brought it, but I didn't bust it out until day 3 or so...not because there wasn't beautiful photos to be made, but because I was truly in the moment of the experience.
