How rafting the Colorado River began

Fascinating. A man's love of rafting dangerous waters became a family business in the early 1900's. It is still run by his family as Hatch River Expeditions. I rafted the Colorado with them August 2009. Real experts. I loved it. This tells the American Dream come true for a small town builder. The story covers everyday workings that Bus endures to earn a living and expands to the dangerous and exciting events on the unpredictable river, including life threatening rapids at every turn. A must read especially if planning to raft the Colorado or like rivers.
