Our neighbor Rhonda organized our first annual rafting trip on the Clackamas River. As expected, the water was cold (60 degrees), but the weather was perfect – sunny and 85. The group consisted of: Rhonda, Lance & Lindy, Brad & Jodi, Dan &Tammy, Penny, and Aaron & Beck. With 10, the guides split us into two rafts of 5. The rafting season on the Clackamas runs from March through August, and in July the rapids are usually 2’s and 3’s.
Our raft had a rough start: We made it through the first two rapids (Alarm Clock and PowerHouse), but then completely flipped over on the thrid, the Maze. Everyone made it out OK, just a little cold. The rest of the day was fun but with no more spills as we made our way through rapids like Sling Shot, Big Eddy, Bob’s Hole, Rock & Roll, Toilet Bowl, and Parking Lot.
