Getting ready to go white water rafting. Fantastic vaca with my 24 year old daughter as a much belated graduation gift from 2021, but WTF were we thinking booking this??
42 degrees and overcast in Varmahlid, Iceland

Stay safe and have a great time (and take their safety instructions to heart).

Fantastic. Icelandics are a blast. Hollow legs. And that’s neat to hear you and your 24 yr old daughter vacationing together. That’s exactly when I’d like to see my daughter again. Have a great 4th
Stay safe and have fun!
I am also chuckling thinking of the reaction I would get from my daughter if I suggested white water rafting in Iceland, let alone my wife's reaction. I would love to do something like that, but no one else in my family would.
We lost one dude from the raft for a few seconds but the 2 of us stayed high and dry (minus the dry part)
Yeah..., I was going to give you a multiple paragraph post on staying away from undercut rocks, etc. but I figured you were smart and you'd listen to your guides ( they don't like to lose clients, it's bad for business)...
I'm glad you had a good time and everyone had a relatively safe day...
Last time I went was decades ago on the Snake, south of Jackson Hole, and I had to grab a girl in front of me who was 3/4's of the way out of the boat and toss her back in. Fortunately she was only about a 110lbs soaking wet (literally) and I was able to do it... Fun Times...
What makes Greenland such a fantastic place? Trump sure wants it, he even offered Puerto Rica in exchange for it. Is it the beautiful beaches or is it being closer to Santa?
Greenland has a lot of minerals and hydrocarbons. Once global warming melts the ice sheet, there's no telling how much potential wealth will be exposed.
Wouldn't it be cheaper and easier to just take part in the Paris Accord and try to stave off global warming?
Rafted the Snake through Hells Canyon years ago. Camped on the river two nights. Also rafted the lower Colorado through the Grand Canyon, into Lake Powell.
The night on the river was incredible...the stars reminded one of the vastness of God's creation. Intimidating.
Denmark boosts Greenland defence after Trump repeats desire for US control - BBC News
The huge package is announced after the president-elect said US ownership of Greenland was a "necessity".

That's a pipe dream, Bill. China isn't going to do it. We're going to have to innovate our way around any climate change.
At 8:53 pm, NORAD tracks Santa over Greenland. Still at this moment considered not a US Imperial possession.
