[Guest guest]

SBVS is very proud to announce its first-ever Summer rafting trip!

We will be rafting on the Stanislaus River on SUNDAY, AUGUST 8TH,

2004, from approximately 10:00 AM - 4:30 PM. The cost of the rafting

trip (including shuttle bus back to automobiles) is only $25/person

the trip to 20 persons. SBVS will accept PAID reservations on a

=====================================================================

 

Here is some information about the Stanislaus River provided by the

rafting company:

 

EXPERIENCE THE STANISLAUS RIVER

One of the clearest of California's Western Rivers, the Stanislaus

originates high in the Sierra Nevada. As it flows west through the

Gold Country, it passes through the rustic town of Knights Ferry,

the home of River Journey.

 

Knights Ferry is filled with many historical buildings and legends,

and is the site of the longest covered bridge west of the

Mississippi, located just upstream from our put-in. It is just 30

minutes from Modesto, one hour from Stockton or Tracy, and less than

2 hours from San Jose and the San Francisco Bay Area.

 

The Stanislaus is a beautiful, free flowing river at Knights Ferry. A

paddle down the Stanislaus is a great way to step out of the routine

of daily life and experience a simple pleasure. The " Stan " offers

something for everyone. Whether you're a beginner or veteran river

enthusiast, the Stanislaus will not disappoint.
