It's the people that make the raft trip special. They come in all shapes and sizes. All of them are crazy and have some connection with Purdue, whether by virtue of attending Purdue or being friends of people from Purdue.

Over the years, the raft trip has become a family event. Not only have we all become one very extended group of friends, but we've started procreating. Imagine that, more GSPs.

This year the kids were recruited to perform the traditional wake up call the morning of the raft trip. This year the kids were lead by Rich Kulawiec
 

This year's trip was organized by Jeff Treece. The Treece family is usually well represented at raft trips, but this year was better than usual. Family connections of all types abound at the trip:
