Whitewater rafting the American River

Stephanie and I went whitewater rafting on the American River’s South Fork with Gold Rush last Sunday.

We wore our FM hats.

Stephanie almost fell out of the raft here.

I managed to save Stephanie. Guy in front: not so lucky.

Eventually we moved up to the front.

And caught some air.

Challenging yes, but not anything that requires any special training besides the typical safety talk. It’s a lot of fun.
