We decided to find something special for you to do at this years COG National.
It is NOT something that we do at most COG Nationals.
It IS a GREAT OPPORTUNITY to meet other COGgers.
It is NOT dull and boring.
It involves Riding/water/MORE Riding
It is a Whitewater Rafting Trip down the Snake River.
Rafting Trip: Will be on the Snake River in Jackson Wyoming. (2 hour distance from the Motel)
The plan is simple….
