点评:Our experience with True North Outpost was outstanding. My 15-year-old son and I went on the mini-expedition - a day filled with white water rafting and "ducky" kayaking to an overnight camping site on an island.
From the moment we booked the trip, Lizz, the manager, reached out to us to understand what kind of food we enjoyed so she could plan the meals to our taste. She made herself for any questions I had leading up to the trip.
We started the day with a rafting trip led by Owen, who showed us the basics and called out instructions as we made our way through the rapids. He was knowledgeable, fun, and funny. The rapids were a thrill.
After lunch - locally made brats and fresh fruit salad - we jumped in the kayaks and Sam led us down the river to the campsite. Sam pointed out the wildlife (including three eagles!) as we made our way down river, taking in the the beautiful scenery over great conversation.
We pulled up to the island where we would spend the night. Micah and Lenny were already there having set up the cooking gear, tables, chairs, and tents. We settled in for dinner over the fire - kabobs, corn, "pudgy pies", s'mores, and even a growler of my preferred type of beer from a local brewery.
After a day of paddling and amazing meals, the sound of the river led us to a great night of sleep.
After making it back, we were sent a link with photos (Lenny had taken from the shore) and videos (a GoPro on Owen's helmet) from the rafting - great memories to take back with us.
Lizz, Owen, Sam, Micah, and Lenny, we can't thank you enough for the amazing experience. Highly recommended.
翻译:我们在True North Outpost的体验非常棒。我和我15岁的儿子参加了一个迷你探险之旅——一天之内体验了激流漂流和皮划艇,最终抵达岛上的露营地过夜。
从我们预订行程的那一刻起,经理Lizz就主动联系我们,了解我们的饮食喜好,以便根据我们的口味安排餐食。在旅行前的准备阶段,她也随时解答我的任何疑问。
我们首先体验了由Owen带领的漂流之旅。他向我们讲解了漂流的基本技巧,并在我们穿越湍急河段时不断发出指令。他知识渊博、风趣幽默。激流漂流令人兴奋不已。
午餐是当地自制的烤香肠和新鲜水果沙拉。午餐后,我们跳上皮划艇,Sam带领我们顺流而下前往营地。一路上,Sam为我们指出沿途的野生动物(包括三只老鹰!),我们一边欣赏着美丽的河景,一边愉快地交谈。
我们抵达了今晚要过夜的小岛。米卡和莱尼已经在那里了,他们已经搭好了炊具、桌椅和帐篷。我们围坐在篝火旁享用晚餐——烤肉串、玉米、“布丁派”、棉花糖夹心饼干,甚至还有一瓶我最爱的当地啤酒。
经过一天的划船和美味的晚餐,潺潺的河水声伴我们进入了梦乡。
返回后,我们收到了一个链接,里面有照片(莱尼在岸边拍的)和视频(欧文头盔上的GoPro拍的),记录了漂流的精彩瞬间——这些美好的回忆将永远留在我们心中。
莉兹、欧文、萨姆、米卡和莱尼,我们衷心感谢你们带给我们如此美妙的体验。强烈推荐!
