Rafting the Truckee Will Have to Wait, Again

The year’s ample snowfall made for all-time skiing during the winter; but the resulting melt is proving to be quite a challenge for rafting in Truckee this summer.  At first, the river was dangerously high, even unlawful to enter.  But now, there isn’t enough water to stop your behind from dragging on the bottom.
