You are never to old. I ran the Colorado River, all 221 miles through the Grand Canyon, rowing my own boat in a private party. We had waited 9 years to get the permit.

I only flipped my boat once. It was a 18 footer, There they classify the rapids on a 1 - 10 scale. We went through a bunch of nines. Great trip. Oh yes, I was 67 at the time.

ROFL!
My wife keeps telling me I'm too old to keep seeking thrills. Happy to see there's another old fart out there who won't give up!!!
