Beth G: River Guide
June 26th, 2008 by Malina
With a voice as big as All-Outdoors, Beth makes her presence known. Whether she’s rockin’ the dance floor, leading a river trip, or hanging out with friends, her good humor and love of life is impossible to miss. On the more serious side, she is equally at home in a labcoat, studying the mysteries of the scientific world. This is Beth’s second full season with AO and we hope we can continue to lure her away from her petri dishes and bunson burners for at least a few more summers…..

Joe came to All-Outdoors from the snowy slopes of Colorado ski resorts. Apparently he wanted to get a tan after all that time in a parka……Whatever the reason, he joined us a few years ago and pretty much became indispensable from Day One. He keeps the troops in order by day as he manages our busiest operation, the South Fork of the American, and busts out slick dance moves by night. Both professional and always ready to have a good time, 
Described by guests as “fabulous” and “undeniably kryptonic,” Angi is indeed one of the SuperStars–the Super Women one might say–of All-Outdoors. She walked into our office (and hearts, awwww…….) in 2005 and immediately became a member of the family. With this outpouring o’ love she’ll need her own fan club soon.
You know Pamela is back in town when a carton of farm-fresh eggs appears in the guide fridge and the smell of fried over-easies wafts about in the morning air. Maybe this commitment to morning nutrition is a way to balance the adventure of Winters spent in Fiji, excursions to Burning Man and summers spent sleeping on river banks all over California.
Naomi was raised on river rafting and began learning to guide from her dad as a kid. Even with this pedigree, however, her first year at AO wasn’t very auspicious, starting with her living under a bush at a local campground as it did. But she has since graduated to a real-life platform (and even a tent!) and has become one of our most dedicated and focused guides. Her commitment to her craft and her creativity and intelligence make her a favorite with her guests.
After graduating from Vasser at the tender age of 14, Nunes became the youngest ivy-leaguer in over fifty years. He made an excellent living on Wall Street, retiring at a mere 25. His life then took an unexpected turn: he had it all—money, fast cars, women. But there was a void, an emptiness. As Matt says, “it was passion, man—passion that I was missing.” So he joined the WWF, performing regularly in fabulous costumes until a groin injury forced him to take off his face paint, furry tail, and cape. He recovered in a spa by a river and heard about AO from the cleaning staff.
Freeman has a bright love for livin’ and a passion for life on the river. He spends his winters on the ski slopes and migrates to California’s river banks when the snow melts. Freeman spreads good vibes among his fellow guides by providing groovin’ melodies in the kitchen and carrying
