3 vs 3
1. Tom M (sup) ($10 finders fee to Amanda) 2. Mike Stoner 3. Paul
BBQ: Damon
One client was 68 with a broken wrist. Another was very "dainty" and not much for paddling. So the Blue Sky River Management Team discussed the best course of action at the park, and Paul was elected to paddle along with the trip, and the office approved the add-on guide. Trip went smooth once we got on the river.
Issues: Knowing about trips. This trip was not (and still isn't) on the Blue Sky forum. Fortunately, Amanda is a ROCK STAR! She started working at 7am (3.5 hours before her 10:30 guide meet) to check the schedule and find guides to fill 4 vacancies. This added stress and hassle is not the domain of a guide nor a trip leader -- this is the type of thing a river manager should do. This type of mental work -- and also the organizational effort that Amanda has put into designing, implementing, and continually updating the new magnetic whiteboard system -- is NOT a minimum wage job; it is management and should be compensated as such.
For saving the day (both days) and effort far above and way beyond guiding duties, Amanda is the MVP of the weekend!

Thanks for the shout out Tom! And I LOVE the details on your trip report! Keep it coming! Also, to verify, Damon was on BBQ but no Jen as Bus correct?
