Go Rafting, be Happy

by admin on March 16, 2011

Looking good!

Rafting’s a whole lot cheaper and way more fun than a sissy cruise

You get to hang out with your friends, meet a bunch of new people and some pretty cute river guides

It’s exciting and challenging and gives you bragging rights

Take a break from food prep, lunch will be served to you alfresco

Your personal happiness index will be on the up and up

Very flattering, those gnarly helmets!

The Upper Sacramento River is flush and full right now. Challenging for beginners and fun for experienced rafters.

Take a break, go have some fun!

Thanks for visiting. Be sure to leave a comment. We'd love to hear what you think about our posts.

But today well spent makes every yesterday a dream of happiness,
And every tomorrow a vision of hope.

Early morning Klamath gold

Join us on the beautiful Klamath River this summer, the river less traveled…

Ah the River!

April 27, 2010

Ah the River… by Ann Walka “Who knows where she’ll take you. No matter what you’ve forgotten, everything you need is here. All you can do is go with the flow. Open your heart to the neighbors, to geese and beavers and lizards, to cactus and belly flowers. Welcome sand in your bed, laugh a [...]
