Letter From A Scoutmaster
The following is one of many letters received by Mountain Waters Rafting in appreciation of our Merit Badge program.
Mr. Casey Lynch
Mountain Waters Rafting, Inc
Durango, CO
Dear Mr. Lynch,
Thanks so much for the fantastic rafting trip you provided our Troop 166 Boy Scouts and adults in May 2002. Your handpicked guides, Josh Bramble and Tony Sollars, were outstanding. They were excellent mentors to our 11 Scouts, helping them all to earn the Rafting merit badge. From beginning to end they ensured our whole crew rafted and kayaked safely, while providing exciting solo and dual kayak rides through the rapids of the Animas River. Their exceptional skills as rafting and kayak guides enabled each of us to enjoy activities tailored to our individual skills.
The equipment you provided was superb, including the rafts, kayaks, and individual wetsuits. Likewise, we were all delighted with the wonderful lunch you provided on the edge of the river, where we took in the contrasting beauty of the city park and mountain backdrop. Additionally, the action photos your crew snapped as we came screaming through the rapids captured the exhilaration-and maybe a little of the fear-we all experienced throughout the day.
For our boys and adults alike it was an experience of a lifetime and for some it was the catalyst to push toward even greater adventures. From the youngest Scout to the oldest adult, we all agreed this was the most exciting and memorable outing of the year. Thank you for providing a world-class whitewater rafting experience. You can count on Troop 166 repeating this adventure over and over again with your company.
Yours in Scouting,
Thomas R. Baltes
Assistant Scoutmaster
