We spent our last day in Yellowstone doing a “Paddle and Saddle” day with The Flying Pig  
Rafting Company. A horse back trail ride in the morning and white water rafting in the afternoon.
I haven’t ridden a horse or rafted before and Jen has only ridden a horse a few time. Luckily, they were both pretty tame.
The trail ride was a slow trek through some amazing countryside. I think they put us on really old horses who were incapable of bolting even if they’d wanted to. Mine seemed more interested in stopping to eat some flowers every couple of minutes than misbehaving itself.
In the afternoon we got to have a go at white water rafting on the Yellowstone river. Again, it was fairly slow, which suited me fine. I’d chosen not to wear a wetsuit because I didn’t realise how cold the water was going to be so I’m fairly glad I didn’t leave the raft. Jen was wearing a wetsuit though and seemed happy to jump off the raft and swim about. I promise I didn’t push her…
I’m going to miss Yellowstone but I’m sure we’ll come back. I’ve been bitten by every insect in the park and the rafting has given me pain in back muscles I didn’t know I had, but it was well worth it.
Tonight we’re in Spokane 
in Washington and hopefully by tomorrow night we’ll be in Seattle .
