On Wednesday we went to the upper Pedawawa river in Algonquin Park. This river while in some ways is more like the rivers I normally run (low volume creeks), the drops we had to run were much larger. The boofs were only about six feet but seeing as I had only done my first boof they day before it was kind of intimidating. But after running the first drop I wasn't  scared at all. I ended up walking to the top of the rapid to run it three more times. A little further down the river we paddled under a bridge. And everyone got out to jump off it. I was told it was about thirty some odd feet to the water below but while standing on the bridge it looked much further. I climbed under the railing and after a few seconds I jumped. After free falling for what seemed like forever, I hit the water. I did so many things on the trip that I never would have ever thought were a possibility before coming to Keeners. I was pretty scared to do anything the first week but by the third I had improved more than I ever thought I could.
