Davis + rafting

As promised (if not quite a bit later than promised) another vacation post. The first leg of our journey started with a tour of UC Davis in 100 degree heat. We then pushed on to the American River for some whitewater rafting. Class III and IV rapids are available here and to anyone considering such a trip, go with American River Recreation: they're the best of the best.

*Please forgive the quality of some photos. We had underwater cameras.
