Yesterday, Saturday June 20, was a wonderful day. The combination of events and situations made for a memorable time.
There were five rafts on the river with a bunch of fun loving people. Most of these people were guests from previous years. The six different groups in the five rafts made for a great combination and they were all eager to battle the river!
Late Friday night, Brayden’s (a great guide by the way) son was rushed into intensive care and Brayden had to head home. Luckily good-hearted Randy stepped in at the very last moment - taking Brayden’s place and making sure his crew had a fun day. (the little guys ok btw)
It was an exceptional day too - bright sunshine and challenging water - who could ask for more?!

The water level is a little lower than average for this time of year because of our cooler weather, but it made it so that we could play with the river and not just run with it. We stayed and played at two different locations - Diagonal ledge and the Haystack. They both showed a different characteristic of moving water and the power of it. Some people set new records for the number of times they leapt off Jumping Rock, repeating it several times before the cold water told them - enough! - as they stood there shivering and happy.
All the rafts got into the water fights at some time or other during the day – there was no clear winner to the fight, everyone got wet, but then the rapids made sure we all got wet anyway so maybe the river won!
Truly - a wonderful day for all. As the bus pulled into the parking lot, the round of applause for the staff showed how thrilled and satisfied everyone was with their day.
Can I imagine a better day than this? Never! Great guests - great staff - great water! Wow! I love having fun!
It sounds blissful, if a bit cold. You really make sure your guests have the best of times, don't you?
