Several years ago my mother and I took a bus trip to ride a pontoon boat on a river—just for something different. The river is noted for its rapids. While I don’t remember the particular classification for the rapids, I do know it gives riders quite a thrill. My mother and I, however, shunned the “wild side” and went in the other direction, on the “mild side”.

Beautiful! That’s about as much rapids as I would want to ride too.
I read someplace that some people are wired to seek out high adrenaline situations; other people are not. I’m definitely in the “not” category. I leave riding challenging rapids, climbing rock faces, or anything like that to someone else.
