Whitewater rafting the American River

Stephanie and I went whitewater rafting on the American River’s South Fork with Gold Rush last Sunday. The photos were taken by Scott Ligare of Fluid Light Images, who followed us around in his whitewater kayak while we ran the rapids.

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