Whitewater Week









The last few days have been spectacular. The boys and dad went on a 2.5 day whitewater rafting excursion with the Venture and Varsity age boys in our troop. Dad was in charge so Jacob and Matthew got to join.




We rafted the South Fork of the American River on Thursday and the Middle Fork of the American River on Friday. Saturday we had a half day of climbing up in the sierras on some sheer granite cliffs.

Grandpa Smith went along as the camp host and the camp chef. Everyone was very appreciative of his spending Wed - Saturday in the camp to reserve and protect our gear and to chef up some awesome meals of dutch oven scalloped poatoes, steaks, ceasar salad, spahetti, etc.

What a great day to start Summer!

Sounds like you had a great time. Dad said that the dutch oven potatoes were awesome. Can we get the recipe? The LeBaron's

I am sure that the dutch oven food was the highlite of the trip for sure. What a fun adventure you went on!
