River Rafting on the South Fork of the American River...

Every year we do this weekend trip where we go river rafting on the American River with our friends. This year there were 9 of us on Sat and 11 of us on Sunday. We ride rapids named "Satans' s Cesspool" or "Troublemaker" or "Bumping Rock" and try to stay in the raft through all the splashing.
This year we had 3 "newbies" on our trip- Bill, David and George. They had never been river rafting before so we made sure they had a chance to be "hood ornaments" at the front of the boat. Here's a great pic of David and Bill as our hood ornaments:
The temperatures on the river run about 90 to 100 degrees in July, so its quite refreshing to take a dip in the river (or get tossed out!) and the folks at Riverrunners feed you lots of food, all the time so its quite a great weekend getaway!
