Ethan and Alan!

Ethan is a 6 year old if you count the number of years since his birth, but he is a seasoned river rafter beyond his years, if we ever saw one! One day on the river converted this young man for life! What a remarkable person. He rowed the raft, paddled an inflatable kayak and masterminded the Super Soaker Squirt Guns with finesse! When we asked him, "What was your favorite part of the trip?" Ethan's quick reply: "All of it!".

Ethan brought his dad Alan along too! Alan's love of the outdoors, camping, hiking and rafting is contagious. Alan was returning to the river after a ten year hiatus. He felt right at home as the rhythm of the river set the tone of the trip. Alan coached Ethan in paddling skills as the duo took on a few rapids together. Father and son also did some gold prospecting at lunch and left with a bag full of possible color!

Many new memories were made! We love to share the river with the enthusiasm that Alan and Ethan brought along. It was a fantastic day on the water!
