Lotus, California
I had an absolute blast this Labor Day Weekend, and did something I've always wanted to do - white river rafting. The accommodations and planning were all thanks to Action Water Adventures company. We camped with them for two nights and did a half-day rafting tour. Everything was taken care of by them from the meals, tents, sleeping bags/pads, firewood, and camping chairs. Camp Lotus is a clean and awesome campsite. There's drinking water, and well-maintained showers and restrooms. We met friendly adventurers at our camp site too. I recommend buying the Groupon Deal for Half-Day Gorge Trip (or Full-Day) and booking your camping reservation with AWA. I picked the Gorge trip because it has more class II and III rapids but both trips are fun and safe. If you have a GoPro or an action camera, you could bring it on the trip. Just make sure you bring your mount to secure it while you're rafting. Also during the trip, try your best to stay hydrated and reapply sunblock. No matte...
