9.21.08   Bungee Jumping
Highest Bungee Bridge in The United States

Why not? Before you convince yourself that you cant do it, realize that the fear is all in your head..Nothing bad is going to happen, you aren't going to die, and it's not going to hurt. I assure you that you will remember Sunday, September 21st 2008 for the rest of your life. Conquer a fear, live a little, scare yourself..It's good for you. Or, you can just do the same thing you did last weekend.

This Sunday join Oregon Active and chuck yourself off the highest bungee bridge in the United States. You will be jumping off a 200ft private bridge above class V waters in the beautiful foothills of Mt St. Helens. This bridge is famous around the world and once you spend the afternoon up there you will quickly see why. Space is limited so make your reservation quickly.

And If you still don't believe me? Listen to the words of Eleanor Roosevelt

"You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do."

9.14.08   White Water Rafting
White Salmon River - The Upper Section is NOW OPEN

Rafting the White Salmon is one of the best-kept recreation secrets of the northwest. The Wild and Scenic White Salmon River is located near Bingen, Washington just across the Columbia River from the town of Hood River, Oregon. This river offers some of the best class III-IV rapids around and the glaciers of Mt. Adams combined with the immense aquifers in the area, keep the White Salmon bubbling all summer long! The rapids are big & bouncy with many large waves and powerful holes. With rapids like Maytag, Corner Cave, Grasshoper, Siwash, Corkscrew, Waterspout, Stairstep, Highway Hole, Rattlesnake, Deadmans' Corner to name a few. The river cuts its way through one of the most beautiful, constricted and heavily forested gorges in the Pacific Northwest. The water is gin-clear, the weather is fabulous and rapids are big and numerous; making the White Salmon River one of the most exciting river trips in the west!
