Coffee will be ready by 7:30am, and
a hearty breakfast will be served at 8am. You will have time
to enjoy Mariah's Nature Trail, play a game of volleyball,
and meet new friends before gathering at 9:30am for the River
Orientation. We will spend about 3.5 hours on the river rafting
the 11miles of the Gorge section. We will enjoy a lovely picnic
lunch at Mariah's lunch site which is located right at one
of the rapids. We'll be back at camp by 3:30pm for showers
and relaxation. In the evening we enjoy hors d'oeuvres, wine-tasting,
a delicious barbeque dinner, and a slide show of us going
through the rapids with live music entertainment. |

After breakfast we board the Mariah
River Bus and head for Chili Bar Dam where the American River
begins. We raft the 10 miles of the Chili Bar section, ending
up at the Mariah Campground where we enjoy a hearty barbeque
lunch. You'll be ready to head for home by 3pm. |
Beginners and advance rafters will be camping
and having meals (except lunch on the Middle Fork day) with the
entire group on the South Fork. We'll
share the campsite with other LGBT organizations from northern
and southern California.
