(Note from the editor -- the rapids our youth fell off the rafts were mostly during Class I and II rapids....so no one was hurt.....the water was a bit cold, but it was extremely hot outside so it was OK. Everyone -- yes EVERYONE including chaperones - had a blast on this trip down the South Fork of the American River.) The 2nd half of the trip - after lunch, we saw a few Class III rapids...and by that time we were all ready for them!

Hi this is Alicia G. Today was a really fun day we got to go river rafting. It was AWESOME! But really scary. we had to split into groups of 6, so once we got in the water it was cold. We started to go down and there were some rapids, and we were just getting really splashed and wet. We were cold. Our first rapid was coming up and we started to go down and we made it. But then we came to this other one andwe got stuck at the top and I fell out! It was the SCAREST thing that ever happened to me. But after that I was a little tramatized. C.P. predicted more people would fall off our raft. the next thing I knew ( later down stream) Shannon and Makayla were falling out too. But after that it was just really fun. So I'm glad that my mom and dad let me go on this awesome trip.

Hi, I'm Colton. This whole trip has been fun. Today we went river rafting. Once we got on to the river, it wasn't intense for me, but it was O.K.. About 3/4 of the way we stopped to have lunch. After we got done with lunch we went into the river and swam around for about 5 minutes. Then we had to go finish our river trip. This is when it got really intense! One part AJ almost flew in to me. And I almost fell off the raft. That's just about all that happened today. Signing off for now, Colton.
