As expected, the water was cold (60 degrees), but the weather was perfect &#8211; sunny and 85. The group consisted of: Rhonda, Lance &amp; Lindy, Brad &amp; Jodi, Dan &amp;Tammy, Penny, and Aaron &amp; Beck. With 10, the guides split us into two rafts of 5. The rafting season on the Clackamas runs from March through August, and in July the rapids are usually 2&#8217;s and 3&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p>Our raft had a rough start: We made it through the first two rapids (Alarm Clock and PowerHouse), but then completely flipped over on the thrid, the Maze. Everyone made it out OK, just a little cold. The rest of the day was fun but with no more spills as we made our way through rapids like Sling Shot, Big Eddy, Bob&#8217;s Hole, Rock &amp; Roll, Toilet Bowl, and Parking Lot.<\/p>\n<p>Boat #1: Brad &amp;
