Whitewater Excitement guest, Robert, wrote this poem the morning of July 20, 2018, while sitting at the edge of the river in our private camp right on the banks of the American river. His nephews were rafting with us for 2 days and relayed the excitement of river rafting on the American river. He had time to ponder and reflect on what he felt the river adventure meant to him and his nephews. Thank you Robert, we are inspired by your words. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
Morning Sunbeams
Through oak and pine,
A winding river
Earth’s grand design
Sleep is over
To a round of laughter,
The River rises
To trill the Rafter
This day is meant
For those who dare,
To raft the river
They must prepare!
The moment of launch
No place to hide!
But trust the shouts
Of a steady guide.
White water and rocks
Excites the rafter,
As the river joins
Their sounds of laughter!
