Man did we have a blast yesterday river rafting for Father’s Day! I asked to go rafting as my gift, and we took our two young boys (11 and 8) along with the rest of the family. What a friendly, stress-free operation! Eli and her compatriots at the front desk were happy, helpful and professional. I started with a reservation for 4 and then added two separately a few hours later; Eli called me, made sure we were the same group, and put us all together - that might seem a small task, but the fact that she did it sets her apart from your typical clerk behind a counter. Our guide, Free, was a riot - just as happy and as funny as can be. And yet, standing by the river (where levels are higher than they’ve been in over a decade), he was absolutely serious and professional. As a retired Army officer, I can appreciate levity in stressful situations (it helps the nervous ones ease up), but when it comes down to the actual event at hand, you have to take safety seriously. Free embodied that concept perfectly. We had a great ride, the kids had a field day, and we couldn’t be happier. Well done, everyone!
