About this event

 Alrighty folks!  I'm organizing this outstanding weekend of camping, rafting and camaraderie ... again!  

Join me again this year for 2 days of whitewater rafting on the American River during their all-gay weekend.  This 2-day trip (South/Middle Fork Combo) costs $345 and includes 29 miles of whitewater rafting for 2 days, 2 nights camping and 5 meals. It is perfect for fit and adventurous beginners and intermediate rafters. Warm up (or cool down) on the South Fork and then get your thrills on the Middle Fork with the Class V 'Tunnel Chute!  (This is the best 'combo' trip they offer, so sign-up soon so you're not delegated to a lesser itinerary!)  There'll be no cancellations on this trip, but your reservation is fully transferrable (we'll work it out!) And, of course, I'll help facilitate carpooling.

Campsite: We'll be camping at Mariah's 20-acre riverside campground. This spacious campground offers comfort and privacy and is one of the largest and most beautiful camps on the river. Amenities: Camp Store, Evening Slide Show, Hot Showers, Flush Toilets, Ping-Pong, Horseshoes, Volleyball, Fishing, Frisbee .. and did I mention that this was an ALL-GAY WEEKEND?!

Food: Delicious, hearty meals are cooked by your guides with the help of food managers and are served under the covered dining area. Wine from several local award-winning wineries, beer, cold drinks, and water are also available in camp. 

The River: Perfect for adventurous and fit first-timers or intermediate rafters, the Middle Fork of the American River flows through a stunning and remote wilderness canyon, 2,000 feet deep with tall, sheer faced rock walls and lush pine forests. The Middle Fork is well-known for the famous Tunnel Chute rapids - 100+ yards of foam and froth followed immediately by the 30-yard tunnel.  

Arrive Friday after 5pm, check-in and join us for some wine (Have dinner before you arrive or there's a couple restaurants nearby) ...... Saturday breakfast at 8am, orientation and safety information, head for the river .... raft, lunch on river, raft some more, dinner in camp and ... rest!.....Sunday breakfast at 7am!, shuttle to Middle Fork, kick some rapid ass!, raft, shuttle back to camp for farewell BBQ late lunch ... head home by 5pm.
