Yeah, we are home and enjoying it! We did go rafting right before coming home, it was a bast! I did a lot of rafting growing up - but never in a river where you could jump in a go for a swim! You are right, they say this stretch was Class 3. The guide (in back) did stay in along with one girl - this might have been a private party in a rental, there were a bunch on the river that day. I know what you mean on the T handle. I have a feeling they were holding on to it until getting thrown out! Thanks, Ron Hi Carl,

Did you go rafting? Looks like maybe a Class 3 rapid, to me - but without seeing more of the river I'm just guessing. Looks like the guide fell out the back? Is that right? Also, note nobody is holding on the end of the paddle - the T grip end .. bad, bad, BAD! I'd have kicked everyone outta the boat if they did this! That's how people lose a tooth, or worse. I don't mean to divert your readers here, but if you look at <a href="http://www.skolaiimages.com/stock/displayimage.php?album=74&pos=11" rel="nofollow">this photo</a> you can see what I mean .. everyone's holding the T grip. That way a loose end doesn't swing around and take someone's face out when you hit a big wave. Are you home yet? Cheers Carl hey Ron

I was going to leave my camera behind and just do it for fun. This looked like a pretty wet ride, I think you would need a housing to be safe.

As is, I almost flew out of the raft on this class 3+ rapid but my friend grabbed my arm as I lost my seating. What suggestion would you have for bringing a camera along for the ride? Or are you not planning on bringing the camera? Would a weather-sealed camera be sufficient or underwater housing would be the best bet? Class 3 & 4 is exciting enough and yet not suicide either.

I'm not sure the class - maybe 3 or 4. We might take a trip, I will find out. You might have to relocate here - there are a lot of athletically fit woman who can hang onto a raft - not that I noticed. Thanks Richard!

I may have to relocate up there and find myself an athletically fit woman who can hang onto a raft. :-) Do you know what class of rapids it is up there? I've whitewatered once on the American River and want to do it again. Wow! what a great catch.
