I went with a group of new people I hadn't really hung out with before. There is so much that you learn about people on float trips. Also I hate conoes. The river is a little rough so this is not a river to get wasted on our to bring small children to. The camp site was wonderful and clean. The father up the river you go, the cooler everyone gets. I saw a family that reminded me of home and it bummed me out a little. All in all a good time.
