Initiation into the Royal River Rats

08-05.jpg 08-05.jpg Text: (Ektachrome): Irene demonstrating that she knows how to cook eggs for breakfast.

08-06.jpg 08-06.jpg Text: (Ektachrome): Blindfolded and standing in the side stream, Irene is ready for the initiation to begin.

08-07.jpg 08-07.jpg Text: (Ektachrome): Irene demonstrates that she can pack her waterproof bag while blindfolded.

08-08.jpg 08-08.jpg Text: (Ektachrome): Irene has to do this while Georgie is splashing her with buckets of water.

08-09.jpg 08-09.jpg Text: (Ektachrome): Irene has to roll up her equipment even though it is all tangled and she can't see what she is doing.

08-10.jpg 08-10.jpg Text: (Ektachrome): And of course she has to do this while being showered with water by Georgie.

08-11.jpg 08-11.jpg Text: (Ektachrome): Irene finally gets the bag packed and closed in spite of Georgie's constant barrage of water.

08-12.jpg 08-12.jpg Text: (Ektachrome): Georgie sternly observes Irene's proficiency in putting on her life preserver while blindfolded.

08-13.jpg 08-13.jpg Text: (Ektachrome): Now, Irene has finally put on her life preserver while still being splashed with water.

08-14.jpg 08-14.jpg Text: (Ektachrome): Now, Irene has to demostrate her proficiency with the oars.

08-15.jpg 08-15.jpg Text: (Ektachrome): She has to demonstrate her ability to bail water out of the boat.

08-16.jpg 08-16.jpg Text: (Ektachrome): Irene has to assume the position (still being splashed) while Georgie prepares to apply the paddle to the appropriate place.

08-17.jpg 08-17.jpg Text: (Ektachrome): Whack! The paddle connects.

08-18.jpg 08-18.jpg Text: (Ektachrome): The paddle connects again. Georgie is smiling approvingly.

08-19.jpg 08-19.jpg Text: (Ektachrome): One last time and it's over.

08-20.jpg 08-20.jpg Text: (Ektachrome): Irene is now a Royal River Rat.

08-23.jpg 08-23.jpg Text: (Ektachrome): Interesting far shore.

08-24.jpg 08-24.jpg Text: (Ektachrome): What's left of a rock slide.

08-25.jpg 08-25.jpg Text: (Ektachrome): Another rock slide.

08-26.jpg 08-26.jpg Text: (Ektachrome): Smooth water, valley opening up.

08-27.jpg 08-27.jpg Text: (Ektachrome): The river broadens.

08-28.jpg 08-28.jpg Text: (Ektachrome): Signs of civilization.

08-29.jpg 08-29.jpg Text: (Ektachrome): Exploring an old shack.
