Hank – nothing wrong with a little swim, particularly if it’s a hot summer day on the Lower Kern

Great post! Lower Kern is one of my family's favorite spots by far! There are mild enough rapids for the whole family. One of our best trips was when my wife and the little ones managed to stay strong and hold on but their big dad was knocked right out of the raft and had to be rescued!

We don’t have any white rapids around here in Missouri.The only river we have for a float trip is the Meremac river, it’s a nice trip but nothing fast but it’s still fun.I like to set up camp on the river, we take a two day trip every July can’t wait.

Charles – thanks, I grew up on a river so it brought back a lot of memories for me, too. I regret never taking a trip down the Rogue (I grew up in Oregon, so no excuse!), so two years from now, when my son is 6, we are going to make that trip.

Alan – very true, and I probably should have touched on the fact that with these 3 outfits, you pretty much just have to show-up with the clothes on your back (okay, maybe a change or two!). They provide all of the camping gear, unless you want to bring your own.

Dana – thanks, it’s great to hear from someone with some real-world experience!

VE – can’t wait to make that trip. I’m kind of embarrassed that I never did it when I lived up there.
