点评:I have been going on Burke’s canoe trips for fifteen years now. It is one of my favorite things to do in the summer, especially during high tide years and when it is really hot in Sonoma county. There are so many nice spots to stop at along the way, that it has always been an all day excursion. The Russian River is a glorious swimming hole, and there is no better way to experience it then the Burke’s canoe trip.
Also, I highly recommend booking the overnight stay at the campsite, which is one of the nicest camp sites I have ever been to. The camp sites are right next to the river, but clustered into alcoves, so that all the campers for the entire site aren’t thrown in together. Great spot for group camping.
This past year, my camping and canoe trip took a turn for the worse, when my eleven year old started to have a panic attack while on the canoe trip. While I was calming my son, off the canoe, we accidentally got separated from the canoe and my ex husband. Ted, Lynn, and Nicky handled the situation with the utmost skill, dedication and professionalism. Ted came to the nearest check point to pick me and my son up, and spent the rest of the day searching for the missing canoe and missing adult. Nicky held down the fort at the campsite and was in regular communication with all parties at all times. And Lynne was on site as well, to ensure that everyone got back safely, and stayed even afterwards to ensure that all parties were well. We ended up having to leave a day early, and Lynne was so sweet to ensure we were refunded for the canceled night. What could have been a very stressful and dangerous situation, instead turned out with the best possible outcome due to the Burke’s canoes professionalism and expertise. It meant so much to me, knowing I had the support of Burke’s canoes staff, while I was dealing with the situation at hand. Thank you Ted, Lynn, and Nicky!
翻译:我已经参加伯克的独木舟之旅十五年了。这是我夏天最喜欢做的事情之一,尤其是在涨潮的年份和索诺玛县非常炎热的时候。沿途有很多不错的景点可以停留,所以这一直是一次全天的旅行。俄罗斯河是一个美丽的游泳水潭,没有比伯克的独木舟之旅更好的体验方式了。
此外,我强烈建议预订露营地的过夜住宿,这是我去过的最好的露营地之一。露营地就在河边,但聚集在凹室里,这样整个营地的所有露营者就不会挤在一起。非常适合集体露营。
去年,我的露营和独木舟之旅变得更糟了,我十一岁的儿子在独木舟之旅中开始惊恐发作。当我安抚儿子下独木舟时,我们意外地与独木舟和我的前夫分开了。泰德、林恩和尼基以最精湛的技能、奉献精神和专业精神处理了这一情况。泰德来到最近的检查站接我和我儿子,并在当天的剩余时间里寻找失踪的独木舟和失踪的成年人。尼基在营地坚守阵地,随时与各方保持联系。林恩也在现场,确保每个人都安全返回,甚至在之后也留下来确保各方安好。我们最终不得不提前一天离开,林恩非常贴心地确保我们获得了取消住宿的退款。由于伯克独木舟的专业精神和专业知识,原本可能非常紧张和危险的情况最终得到了最好的结果。这对我来说意义重大,因为我知道在处理当前情况时,我得到了伯克独木舟工作人员的支持。谢谢泰德、林恩和尼基!
