I've been working like a mad man on Wild West 2002 planning today and I FINALLY got a live person to talk to in Siskiyou County on trip planning. Happy Camp, California is famous for river rafting so I'm told. I was given information on an outfitter that would be willing to take the group. Here are the rough details:

1) Must be over six years of age to participate.

2) Trip duration is three to four hours covering eight miles of river and includes stops to explore and hit some swimming holes. The more exploring you do, the longer the trip lasts. There are some Class III rapids so this is a mild trip and sounds like a good, "first time" trip for those who have never rafted before.

3) Portage, guide, safety gear, and pickup is included.

4) Alternative activities WOULD BE PLANNED for those who have small children or don't want to go rafting. Right now that alternative appears to be blackberry picking and panning for gold.

5) This would be a private trip for club members only.

The club is not capable of bearing all costs for the rafting trip with the fees we've collected. Normally it would be $50 per person for the river rafting trip. We can subsidize it down to $40 per person - IF THERE IS INTEREST.

Please e-mail me your opinion on attending a river rafting trip on Sunday, August 25th, 2002 in Happy Camp, California. I would need a majority (say 20) that would go on the rafting trip for me to make the reservation and alter our trip plans accordingly. The expense is pretty high for larger groups (a family of four would cost $160 even at the reduced rate) so I don't want to strain budgets.

Please reply ASAP - I want to make a decision on this by Monday, July 29, 2002.

BTW - this same message was sent to you via e-mail if you are registered for Wild West...

 
I have made discounted arrangements with an outfitter and set up alternative activities for those who don't want to go rafting. More details to follow - it's going to be a GREAT time!
