Many of you may know the tradition of Rose, Thorn, Bud, which involves saying something good and something bad that happened during the day, as well as something you are looking forward to. I usually do this during dinner or after a trip and this thread is meant to be an electronic version of that tradition.

So, whenever you get finish a trip and get back to a computer, please post the basic trip details (who, what, when, where) and your rose, thorn and bud for the trip.

I'll Start...

Beginner kayaking trip on the yo-yo section of the green river with Clay, Jordan, Brook, Kelsey, Robert, Brian, Carissa and Chris

Rose: Watching everybody learn eddy turns and ferrying for the first time, and seeing them smile (even after the occasional swim)
Thorn: not having time to take a shower after the trip and smelling like the river for the rest of the night.
Bud: Getting another group of first-timers on the river
