Heres a great piece of guest feedback from the Merced River.. kudos to veteran guide Joe Marshall.

Hi Lenka,

Our group rafting trip was very exciting. We had a really nice time, couldn’t have asked for better circumstances. The weather was a perfect 75 degrees with little to no cloud cover. Both guides were fantastic. We got along with the other boat as well. The lunch was really good. It definitely hit the spot mid day.

Our guide Joe was great. He is very knowledgable of the river and orchestrated the greatest ride my group has experienced to date. It’s been two days and we can’t stop talking about the ride down split rock and the adrenalin we fealt. Joe was able to guide us to position the raft within centimeters of large rocks, thus maximizing the thrill and wave factors. My group liked him so much that we would like to request him as our guide for our next trip. Nobody fell in, but that just meant he instructed us well enough to keep us on our feet and off our backs.

To give you a heads up, I will be getting back to you AO in January about a two day trip on the Tuolumne for June 09 and would like to request Joe Marshall as our guide for that trip.
