Summer Fun: Fellowship on a River

Every year I organize a river rafting trip for members of ACC and friends. Last year we explored the Nelchina and Tazlina river system, and this year we will do the same on the mighty Chulitna. This is a mild float trip that is suitable for children, pets and novice oarsmen. The camping areas are all unimproved wilderness areas, so you will need a tent, sleeping bag, and other camping equipment. However, I do have a private stash of extra stuff if you have need.

The trip is scheduled for four (or five) days, June 17 to20 (or 21). The Chulitna River flows from Broad Pass (near Denali Park), south to Talkeetna, then on the Big Susitna we float for another 15 miles to end at Sunshine. I also have a personal website for anyone wanting more info on rafting Alaskan rivers. http://paddling.jimstrutz.com You can also find photos and information from previous trips that we've done.

I still have a few spaces left in my boats for passengers and oarsmen, but but these may be spoken for soon. So if you are interested, let me know quick. Also, if you have access to a raft or other suitable craft, or are planning on coming and have extra space in you boat, let me know. These trips only get better with a larger group size. While this is primarily a Christian raft trip, we certainly welcome pre-Christians to join in the fun, so invite your neighbors.
