The River Weeks 1 and 2...John's wedding

I survived the first week on the river with guests. It went very well. No injuries. No flips. I am tired and will write more later...

The first 2 weeks were parent teen weeks. These weeks are fairly laid back for the river guides. The groups arrive around 11pm every night and leave by 2pm the next day. Then we have the entire afternoon and evening to relax and get ready for the next group. So we work hard and then play harder. We cook breakfast every morning (the same thing).

The first week we spent most of our afternoons doing more training. The river was still very high so The Ferry Point section was not like it will be during second wind. I showed the guys how to orientate the jumping rocks and Dragon's tooth. We cooked some great dinners this week and Pizza house was awesome.

I left early the second week to go to John Blackmon's wedding in Statesboro, GA. It was a great trip home. I haven't been home since Easter. I spent most of my time in Georgia doing wedding stuff. Mom, Dad, and Kathryn came to so that was fun. It is hard to believe John is married now.

It was a quick trip back to California to get ready for Second Wind and probably our hardest week on the river of the entire summer.
