You All ROCK. The Guides we had on the Scenic & White Water, Were so Cool. Relaxed & Easy Going. To put a Steak Dinner in after 2/3 rds. of the trip was done was an excellent move. Knowing that after dinner, Everyone Still had more rafting to do. That was a lot better, than having Dinner and getting on a Bus and coming home.

The presentations were on a variety of subjects ranging from willows to
