First Challenge Completed


"Getting neck deep in the Madison River" was the first challenge I completed and was, I'd have to say, the major motivating factor for me to even do the challenges altogether! The current was swift, which we were glad to have found a spot so quickly that worked. The water was warmer than expected, due to the geyers flowing into the river probably. If I had gone out any further, the current would have taken me; and, I would have had to swim back to shore against the current!
