Boy Scout Trip to the South Fork American River

Over the Father's Day (and Summer Solstice, and Darius' Birthday) Weekend I went with Darius an the Scouts to the South Fork of the American River. We got down there Friday evening and enjoyed the pool at the American River Campground before letting the boys serve us dinner. Saturday we got up early and got on the bus to Chili Bar. American River Expeditions (the raft company) was great about shuttling my kayak and letting me join the fun. We did the whole 20+ mile stretch in one day! It was a blast for me to get back on the South Fork after many years. At first I was just a tad nervous, but after running Meatgrinder and then Trouble Maker, I realized it was just all "read and run" fun.

I was able to get a few videos with my helmet cam and they can be checked out here:
