There appeared to be drug activity, and there were people living in their cars. It felt more like a place for people to hang out and purchase drugs than a normal parking lot. I observed this as I drove through, which was very concerning. This was a bummer, especially since the trail itself looked beautiful. I'm surprised that law enforcement hasn't been called by the neighborhood, but then again, I understand that people can sometimes become used to these conditions.

On January 2, 2022, Captain Kyle took a kiddo I volunteer with and myself out on Lake Camanche and put us on fish. Kyle and Deckhand Dave explained in a clear and fun way what to expect and how they were rigging the fishing poles. Kyle showed my kiddo different fishing techniques and how to clean the fish we caught. Captain Kyle gave this young man the lure he caught the first fish on that is now displayed in his room. Limits for all and a thrill of a lifetime for this special young teen the day before his birthday. Thank you, Kyle Wise, and Headhunter Sport Fishing. You are the best.

Nothing today can compare, sadly, and so it's lost but a strong happy memory for me. We had such a great time here. So much history. The museum was a fun find. The best part it's entirely free! And it's open virtually every day of the year. And if you come on certain days, you'll meet 49er's doing what 49er's did during the Gold Rush Days. If you're new to California, this is a great place to come and get an easy history lesson. If you have kids or company, bring them here. So much fun for everyone.

From incredibly attentive and knowledgeable guides to luxurious camping accommodations, they take care of you. All you have to do is show up and paddle. Maybe you don't even have to paddle if you're sitting in the gear boat. The American River trips are an easy day trip from Sacramento or the Bay Area. If you're looking for a little more adventure, a multi-day guided whitewater trip is so fun, with lots of downtime to swim, look at the stars, play games, and eat yummy food. There's no freeze dried camp meals here. Everything is boated in and prepped on the beach for you. So good. All around, so good.

Plus she shared relevant historical stories from the mining times of the area. We can't wait to book another trip. Thx to Alex for a great time.
