Kings Riive got's some great Kayaking and Riiver Rafting. As someone pointed out, us Northern Californy's are somewhat spoiled. We get all the nice weather without the Hollywood plastic found in the LA Basin. And we are in some of the most beautiful scenic country in the State. Lake Tahoe, The Sierra Nevada's, Napa and Gold Country has lot's of wine to drink and we also have our share of good Kayaking and River Raftiing. Glad you made it out of the state safely. Come again now y'hear!
