Feedback: South Fork American 1-Day Lower, 7-22-2006
July 27th, 2000 by Sammy RussoThis feedback was sent into Diana in out Walnut Creek office from Michael K. of Davis CA, Michael and his 9yr old son rafted the Gorge Section of the South Fork American River on July 22, 2007
Diana,
My son Max and I loved just about everything about it. He was the first to volunteer to jump in so Joe could demonstrate how to rescue a swimmer. Then he jumped in at every other opportunity — about 5 more times. He really got into the classification of the rapids, and kept asking Joe what the class was for each ripple we went through. He loved the class 3′s.
We appreciated Joe’s briefing us on what each of the class 3′s would be like shortly before we entered them. Lunch was
perfect. We even enjoyed Joe’s silly jokes. Max told two, one not so bad and the other that no one could figure out. We appreciated the discipline of 4 rafts traveling together and watching out for each other, such as waiting if one got perched.The guides seemed to respect and get along with each other. One might take that for granted, but if it were not the case, it would send vibes to the customers.
I chose All-Outdoors just based on your website. It seemed the most informative about what the day would be like, and the prices seemed competitive with the other sites I looked at.
There’s certainly a good chance we’ll want to go out with you again next year.
