It was pretty calm on the Truckee River but we had fun paddling along and taking an occasional dip. The most exciting thing was the rescue of 2 girls in inner tubes that don't fair so well on the last little falls. The water is shallow but very swift and your bottom needs to be up when going over them in your boat. These poor girls were trying to put more air in their tubes but the water was carrying them away and other boats were going right for them. It was a little struggle but we did manage to get them and lots of water in our boat. It was a little scarey but everyone was ok. Back at camp John tries to get this log on the fire but he needed a little help. There are many people visiting Tahoe and camping spots are hard to come by. We are having fun, miss everyone and look forward to seeing the family in Mammoth next Saturday!
