Whitewater Voyages delivered again. This is my 5th time rafting with them and we all had a blast. Our guide "Matt" was fantastic and made the Jungle Run a lot of fun. We stopped at the Jump Rock. It was so much Fun!

I’m so glad I went with Whitewater Voyages for my first time ever rafting! Dayana and her staff really know their stuff. All I can say it was the time of my life out there on the Kern River. I’m looking forward to going back and doing it again.

The Lower Kern was Gorgeous! The day was beautiful, the rapids a hoot, and the water was even warm! What a playground! Thanks Whitewater Voyages for a super fun trip. Everyone in our group had so much fun. We’ll be back soon.

From the wonderful founder of @whitewatervoyages … Dear Friends, First, I’m thrilled to report that the new edition of The Guide’s Guide Augmented was the #1 #NewRelease in all of its #amazon catagories—and the reviews are wonderful!! Second, I recently discovered—and have now fixed—an error in the new Guide’s Guide Augmented: The second half of the “PUNCHING HOLES” article on pages 222–224 was inadvertently omitted from copies printed before about 3/17/24. Fortunately, the error has now been corrected in all copies of the ebook (whenever purchased)—and all copies of the paperback printed after 3/17/24 will include the missing text. (FYI: The missing text is both attached and pasted in below.) If you or anyone you know purchased the new paperback edition copy prior to 3/17, please let me know (include the mailing address) and I’ll send them a signed, corrected copy (with the missing section carefully taped in) plus a free signed copy of my novel Whitewater: A Thriller. Alternatively, if you/they prefer, I’ll simply send a copy printed after 3/17. Warm regards, Bill William McGinnis Best-Selling Author Author’s Website: www.WilliamMcGinnis.com 510 409 9300 bill@whitewatervoyages.com 5205 San Pablo Dam Rd El Sobrante, CA 94803Button

#Repost @kernriverconservancy with @use.repost ・・・ ‼️ The Kern River is now open to public recreation. Closure has been lifted by Tulare County Sheriffs Office ‼️ All Rivers in Tulare County Open, Use Caution As water flows have slowed in Tulare County waterways, Sheriff Mike Boudreaux has rescinded all river restrictions throughout the county, including the Kings River, Kaweah River, St. John’s River, Tule River and Kern River. However, Tulare County rivers are still dangerous, and people need to use caution. People familiar with the rivers will notice different water patterns compared to years past due erosion, fallen trees and extra debris. There are numerous downed trees, which create “strainers.” A strainer is when turbulent water flows through a tree. A person caught in a strainer can quickly find themselves pinned against the tree or swept underneath it. Keep in mind that the Tule River is essentially inaccessible due to a road closure at Highway 190 and Rio Vista Drive, in Springville, because of road construction. Please use good judgement when entering the water, which is about 60 degrees. Exposure to cold water can cause hypothermia which can quickly lead to exhaustion or unconsciousness. • Wear a life jacket. • Use high quality boating equipment (rafts and tubes made of durable rubber – no pool floaties). • Stay out of the water if you’re not an experienced swimmer. • Do not mix alcohol and swimming. • Always keep a close eye on your children.Button

Can you hear it? The Kern River IS calling you! Thanks @kernriverconservancy for capturing some cool footage above the road closure. This is South Creek just above the Johnsondale Bridge that feeds into the main Kern River. We are running trips every day on the Upper Kern! Book online or call us. We will get back on the Lower Kern in July when the river flow has become prime for some GREAT #bigwater2023 trips. All the private campgrounds are back in business from the flood and continuing to make alterations to get back to full capacity, if not already fully operational. youdontwannamissthis • • • #whitewaterkern #kernriver #raftingcalifornia #kernville #whitewater #justaddwater #thisisyourriver #optoutside #lifehappensoutdoors #rei1440project #neverstopexploring #wildandscenic #mypubliclands #repyourwater #bakersfield #losangeles #adventureishere #visitcalifornia #legendsofwhitewater #sequoianationalforest #summerfun #instagood @airewhitewater @nrsweb @raftingmagazine @carlisle @kokatatusa @ecoxgear @americanwhitewaterButton

Action from the last storm! If you were debating on whether you should book a rafting trip this summer, the answer is a HECK YES!! 🙌🏾 The Upper Kern River peaked at 17,784cfs around midnight last night. We woke up to a 114% snowpack of April 1 (and the snow storm in the plateaus hasn’t ended yet). The lake is now sitting at over 76,000 acre feet & climbing. There are a few more storms to come this January. And, some of Riverside Park & the walking path was under water last night! 😮 Our snow dancing is working and our dreams of running our famed 2-Day Lower Kern, Sierra Escape are coming true! Enjoy a few pics/vids of the Kern River in the last few days from locals: @kernriverconservancy @garyananian @bobbieedwards1222 @sequoianationalforest @post_a_lone @cadepartmentofwaterresources @usarmycoreofengineersButton
