We are staying at the Sagehen Creek Field Station right now and are getting ready for our next expedition.  We will be kayaking next week on Lake Tahoe.  Yesterday we had the wonderful opportunity to go white water rafting on the South Fork of the American River. It was a hot and sunny 118 degrees (according to our car) and the water was icy from the snow melt. We sailed through rapids and paddled our way through beautiful scenery and sat down to an excellent lunch with our rafting group before progressing to the last leg of our journey. We ended our trip with some cold sodas, hot pizzas, and as always, lots of laughter and reminiscing of the days events. We all had an amazing time despite our exhaustion towards the end of the day!
