Time You Thought You Were Going To Die: A couple years ago my wife, son and I had found a great little spot on the bow river where we could easily cross without getting wet to an island. We had spent about four or five days at this spot and it was seemingly pretty mellow. We crossed the river again for another picnic/hang out and set up camp. We were sitting on the rocks and noticed the water had started to run under our beach blanket. We clued into what was going on (the dam had opened) so we quickly packed up and ran back to the mellow creek we had crossed in on which at this point was now a raging river. I tried to cross and see how deep it was but didn't go any further then the now chest deep river. Equipped with coolers, camera bags, a dog and fishing rods we started looking for an alternate route out of here before the growing storm was upon us. We found one area we could cross 4 smaller rivers to get across so we all linked hands and started making our way over. Our dog was howling like he knew we were doomed. We managed to get across (with only loosing both of my shoes to the rapids) seconds before the hail storm hit. There wasn't really a point where I thought we were in danger of dying but it was a really gnarly situation.
