'01 S Fork American  Adventure Trip

Over Memorial Weekend, 2001, Dave, Linda, Nick, Suzanne, Carl, Regina, Joseph, Brian, and Linh embarked on a multi-activity adventure trip.

We used a wheelbarrow to cart all of our camping gear from the parking lot over to the grassy, riverside campground.  Joseph experiences his first 'cart' ride:

Here is evidence of the beginning of the end...Nick teaches Joseph how to use his first Super Soaker...he learns quickly and became hooked right away!  The situation quickly deteriorates into a 5 Super Soaker, 2 water cannon, take-no-prisoners, brawl.

After that, we cooled off by rafting "The Gorge" section of the South Fork of the American River.  Linh isn't paying attention to the guide, or the river, or paddling!:

On the next day, we participated in a ropes course, with a climbing wall, log bridge, and zip line:

 

     

After dark, we played a mean round of Ghetto Rules croquet.  'Twas a long and close game that Nick finally won at 1:00am:

On Memorial Day, it was HOT, so we hiked up the North Fork of the American River to a nice swimming hole:
