Peking Drifting | Grab the tail of summer and experience the excitement & coolness!

Seeing that this summer is coming to an end?

The beaters couldn't help but wonder, except for a dip in the swimming pool,

Are there any more interesting activities to cool off the heat?

With this idea,

I decided to invite my friends to sacramento to try

Outdoor rafting

This is also my first time rafting in the U.S.

Thinking about it, it's a bit chicken jelly!!!


Whiter rafting


#1 River introduction


Outdoor rafting in the Bay Area mainly revolves around

American River, one of the two major rivers in the California basin,

Minutenorth fork.middle fork south fork

It is the main rafting section.



American River is formed by the Sierra Nevada and many

Melted snow from upstream and tributaries flows in,

In the huge gold rush two hundred years ago,

It has also attracted countless fanatical pioneers.


Now the craze has receded, leaving only the still magnificent natural landscape

And a little gold shavings in the splash.

Has become today's summer resort


#2 Safety


Little life matters,

Before booking the ticket, the question that our group considered the most is:

is it safe?

*Beginner

Small wind and small waves

*Level3-4 low level

 Relaxed and happy

*Level4+ Intermediate

Be careful to capsize

*Level5 Advanced – Thrilling and fun


Drifting up to six people in a boat, graded according to the degree of danger

When booking the itinerary,

Friends can judge based on the following points

Safety first!

01

Do all members know how to swim?

All rafting projects above Level 4 require all members to know the water

02

Is it the first time for all members to participate in rafting?

If it is the first experience, it is recommended to start from Level3.

Can better combine entertainment and safety

03

Are you considering camping at night?

If you want to camp in the mountains at night,

There are two-day trips for you to choose from in the rafting


Life jackets and helmets are required throughout the rafting process.

There will also be experienced guides on board.

Dispel doubts.

Rush!


Friends who happen to be drifting together can swim,

We chose the LEVEL4 project that does not stay overnight on the official website.

But by the day of meeting, some friends still didn't buy all the equipment.

#4 Experience of the day


Although I am mentally prepared to get up early,

But when I woke up at XNUMX o'clock in the morning and set off,

There is still a little breakdown....

It’s too early, breakfast is like dreaming

(Community animals cry)

*Friendly remind everyone that you must eat some food, otherwise it really won't last noon


After arriving at the meeting point, it happened to be a parking lot.

Don't worry about where to park.


Immediately, the company van carried the boat and us

Let's go to the starting point of today's rafting together

After arriving at the destination, the guide will first distribute the equipment to everyone,

While wearing it, give safety explanations and

Matters needing attention during rafting

After checking everyone’s equipment,

The guide will also briefly explain the rowing action

Not difficult, the most important thing is to be willing to obey the command and act in a consistent manner


Then...Into the water!

The journey of this day officially begins here!


The rhythm of our drifting trip is biased

Stimulus at the beginning and end, gentle in the middle

When we first got on the boat, everyone was full of energy,

It is also suitable for experiencing some more thrilling river sections


When the boat rushed into the waves, the cold white waves hit their faces and shoulders,

The whole ship couldn't help but laugh while screaming


After two rapids,

We were damp and finally came to a section of stable waters,


Time is approaching noon,

The sun can quickly dry the moisture on the body

Everyone has become accustomed to the basic operations of rowing,

You can relax your nerves and chatter.


At about two-thirds of the itinerary,

The guide motioned us to dock

He and the guides of the other ships quickly prepared a table

The meat and vegetables are available, and there are even fruits and noodles.Lunch


The taste is quite satisfactory, simple but clean and thoughtful,

I am quite satisfied.


After a brief rest, everyone bring their helmets back to the boat

The rafting in the afternoon will continue again


The sun is more blazing, and it’s too hot to burn on the body.

Rowed right into calm waters,

After asking the coach

Everyone "abandoned the boat and launched into the water"


The water temperature in the afternoon has been heated by the sun,

Stop freezing your feet like the morning

The river is clear, and the little misfortune is fighting with friends in the water.

Spent this afternoon happily


There will be a short period of rapids before the end of the rafting,

There are no difficult river sections, only brave guides!

(Guide:...?)


Rowed to the shore, and helped the guide lift the boat onto the roof of the car,

Everyone will return to the parking lot by car.

This also declares that today is driftingOfficially ended


#5 Is it recommended


At the end of the day, although I feel like it’s in Level4

The distance that needs to be stroked is slightly longer,

But for first-timers, the arrangement is still very reasonable.

The guide is humorous and the experience is easy and enjoyable.

5 points out of XNUMX, I can score4 minutes.


Well, I didn't spend any wronged money!


If you are a person who likes to be outdoors,

It's just like I was disturbed by this scorching summer,

That little misfortune thinks,

Drifting True Heart is a project suitable for you to experience with your friends.
