Today is Becky's birthday, and she decided she wanted to go to the Suicide Rocks and tube down the river. (She is to the right of me in the picture) I did not name the Suicide Rocks, nor do I know how they got their name. I do know they used to be rather different, but possibly a landslide or flood changed them.
Anyways we hiked maybe a half hour from station to the Suicide Rocks. It is a bit too wild for the littlest members of our party, so they met us at the end where they played in the river. It was a bit like a water park theme ride, except way more unpredictable. The water wasn't super deep, maybe waist high at most and ankle deep in the shallowest areas. You had to be careful to keep your backside up or you'd hit random rocks,which I happened to me once or twice. I flipped over twice. But it was alot of fun. We would wave at the locals as we went by, and a few of them had tubes themselves coming down the river. A few of us went a bit farther down the river at the end, and took the tubes out near a huge baptism.
