Over the River and through the woods........

Ultimate Oregon B finished up a successful river run of the Deschutes River, bravely tackling class III & IV rapids. The group had great weather and the rafting guides provided the group with delicious meals along the way. Highlights included charging huge white water rapids- Boxcar, Elevator and 4 Chutes Rapids. Some of the kids enjoyed the backcountry protocols of "pooping in a hole", while others learned they prefer modern plumbing. David and Trevor braved the always fun Duckie boats, and ultimately ended up capsizing before being plucked out of the water by their fellow tripmates.
We were sorry to learn that Emily injured her knee on Day 2, and will unfortunately have to leave the program. Sadly, her 2 hometown counterparts will also be leaving the program today as well.

Yesterday, was the first day of mountain biking and leaders reported an outstanding day on the trails. We were fortunate to get a bunch of action shots from the day and posted them on Picassa. Today will be another day on the trails. This evening the group will look forward to meeting their counterparts known as Ultimate Oregon A, whom will be joining them at Smith Rock State Park campground. They are a great group of kiddos who have been doing the reverse itinerary of Ultimate Oregon B. We should also mention that Longacre legend and 6 year vet Ali,will be joining the group this evening. She is our Rock Climbing specialist and always brings lots of charisma, experience and pizazz to the program.

We will continue to post updates and photos as we get them.
