I REALLY wish you hadn't put pictures in the story of people not wearing life jackets. Even on still water accidents can happen, how am I supposed to convince my kids to wear life jackets when 'adventurers' don't? I thought we were all smarter than that.

Cataract Canyon,Desolation, West water are all great river runs and they, with a host of other, should be on the wild and senic river list!
