FIRST-TIME RAFTER IRENE SAID: "It was an overnight trip and in the evening we camped out and were served margaritas, steak and chicken with huge baked potatoes... Then came the evening disco under the stars... There were strobe lights and smoke and loud disco tunes and people dancing on the tables... There was a huge campfire and I layed back on a log and watched shooting stars. There were SO MANY STARS in the sky! I could not believe it! On our way home we stopped off at the Jelly Belly outlet and I bought cappucino and caramel corn flavored jelly beans... What more is there in life! I had a great time. It is something that everyone should try... at least once in life! "

THINGS TO BRING: Go to http://www.gotwhitewater.com/details.htm for a detailed list. Don't forget ice cream money and waterguns!
***************************************
WATER GUN INFO: The best type for the trip would be a "Stream Machine". Most "Super Soaker" water guns just don't have the capacity, nor do they have the ease of refilling and the "drench power" like that of the Stream Machine. Try REI or Toys R Us stores. (www.rei.com). If you want to buy it on line try typing "stream machine water gun" into www.google.com search engine.
***************************************
DIRECTIONS: Please try to carpool. From the Bay area, take Interstate 80 towards Sacramento. At Vacaville, turn off onto Hwy 505 North. You'll be on Hwy 505 for about 22 miles. Take the Hwy 16 turnoff from Hwy 505 and turn left on Hwy 16 heading west towards Madison/Esparto. Follow Hwy 16 CAREFULLY (it curves a lot) for about 25 miles until you reach Camp Haswell, which is two miles past the town of Rumsey. From San Jose it will take 2.5 hours.
