I'm doing 38 things
I finally did it! The whole experience of the weekend was amazing, camping out with 17 co-workers, some of who had never camped before, tubing down the river, the road trip, and dinner at a restaurant the night before. The whitewater experience was a little bit of a let down, although I had a lot of fun. I would recommend The Upper Kern class IV, we did the Lower Kern Class III. The Lower Kern is all water from the dam, so it is controlled to a certain extent. Class III is like riding through Pirates of the Caribbean in Disneyland although we had tons of classic moments that didn’t require big rapids. About 85% of the time is calm water. There were several parts of the river I really enjoyed, like stopping towards the end of the river and jumping off a 25-30 foot cliff twice, and getting out of the raft and ridding the current along side with the rafts. The ending where they take your picture topped it all off, which was a high class III area. Good times! Good Times! I will post a picture soon as I get one. If you do go, I also recommend researching it a little more, ask when is the best time to go, because certain times in the year, the water flows much smoother. When we went, the water levels were very low, so you wind up getting stuck on a lot of rocks that you normally would ride right over. Alex Sabio
