TRIP REPORT: WENATCHEE JUNE 3rd & 4th

With river flows at 13,000 cfs, Saturday June 3rd and Sunday June 4th were both exceptional days on the Wenatchee River. The joint BEWET/REACH trip was a huge success with 67 people (12 boats) rafting on Saturday and 27 people (6 boats) on Sunday. Many of these people were first time rafters and a lot of new interest in the club was generated. Thanks to all the guides who came out and supported this weekend – it wouldn’t have been possible without your help. With everyone’s effort, we generated $2400 for the club this weekend!!! A big thanks to Phil Fisher and Jeff Cline for all of their input and help (even when I didn’t ask for itJ) – they made the organizational portion of this trip very easy for me. A personal thanks to Kevin Held and Vinny Spencer for their exceptional tutorship on the river; Kevin for his continuing efforts to teach all of us new, “wet behind the ears,” guide trainees, and Vinny for not letting me kill myself on Sunday. I learned an enormous amount this weekend. Finally, thanks to everyone for coming out! SEE YOU ON THE RIVER!!! ~Rick
