How Not to Park a Car...

On February 23, our shuttle driver had an accident and our car ended up in the river at the Take-out of Chamberlain Falls run on the North Fork of the American. Luckily no one was hurt and the only losses were of a monetary nature. Below are some photos from the recovery day a week later.

We would also like to extend a thank you to the State Parks and Recreation Department, The Placer County Dive Team, DART (Drowning Accident Rescue Team), along with Kenny and his tow crew.

Below is a short video of the days happenings as well as some photos. All the photos were taken by Diane Gaydos, the car's owner.
