SUMMARY:WHITEWATER RAFTING: CHERRY CREEK/UPPER TUOLUMNE RIVER
DESCRIPTION:  WITH A PHENOMENALLY STEEP GRADIENT averaging 110 feet pe
	r mile\, the Cherry Creek/Upper Tuolumne run is the most challenging r
	un in the U.S. and the standard by which Class V runs are measured. Th
	is intense and demanding stretch of river in the Stanislaus National F
	orest comprises long\, nearly continuous rapids and only short pools. 
	Among “The Creek’s” unparalleled array of chutes\, holes\, ledges a
	nd falls\, amidst gigantic boulders are Jawbone\, Mushroom\, Miracle M
	ile\, Lewis’ Leap and Flat Rock Falls. When you reach the bottom of a
	 Cherry Creek rapid\, you'll look back upstream exhilarated\, and wish
	 you could hike back up and do it again. HERE IS THE MOST AWESOME OPPO
	RTUNITY to whitewater raft the ultimate Class V River – Cherry Creek/
	Upper Tuolumne. SIERRA MAC WILL LEAD us on this one day adventure. To 
	learn more about Sierra Mac\, visit its website at - http://www.sierra
	mac.com/. Most if not all questions are answered on the website. Pleas
	e visit the website before asking questions. ITINERARY: The date of th
	e trip is Saturday\, July 18\, 2009. I was not able to reserve a group
	 site. So\, I reserved a site for the six people that RSVPed that they
	 want to camp. This includes David\, Amber\, Valerie\, Mark\, JB\, and
	 me. Since no one else RSVPed\, I am assuming that you are finding you
	r own accommodations both Friday and Saturday nights. For the six of u
	s\, we’re staying at the Yosemite Pines RV Resort. Driving Directions
	 From the Bay Area: Follow Hwy-120 East to Groveland. Continue 1/2 mil
	e East of Groveland on Hwy-120 and then turn right onto Old Hwy-120. F
	ollow Old Hwy-120 for 1 mile. You will see Yosemite Pines RV Park and 
	Campground on the left. CONSIDERATIONS: This trip is for serious boate
	rs only. A training seminar is required and included at the beginning 
	of the trip. HERE'S A VIDEO of Cherry Creek/Upper Tuolumne to give you

	y me. You have to call Sierra Mac and pay them directly. A deposit of 
	$100 is required\, and the remainder is due 45 days prior to the trip.
