Summary: Ree was our rafting lead. She was so cool. She earns a certificate for rafting level 5. So we feel safe to raft with her. She guided us along the way what to do and expect. She let us sit at the head of the raft and we got splashed. We had a great time.

Summary: We had a blast!! It was a little cooler than we were anticipating that day, so four of the five of us ended up renting wetsuits for $10 - worth every penny. Bobby, our fearless leader, was really great. He was really fun to hang out with during the calmer waters and provided great instruction during the rapids. There were several boats going along the river in a group, so that was really nice.
