Share a special memory about riding in a boat.

We always had Father's and Son's celebrations while I was growing up. There were two of them that were very special in that we traveled out of the normal and went to float the Green River blow the dam at Flaming Gorge. We went and had rented several large rafts or what could be considered boats since that was the closest that I had ever been in getting into a boat. We floated the 5 or so miles down to Brown's hole where we would get out. I was always fun to go through the rapids even though they were never terribly big they were still fun. It was always a fun event. Later in life I walked that stretch of the river and photographed scouts as they floated down through the rapids. It was fun to do that as well and especially since I did not even realize it was possible until that time.
