The thought crossed my mind the other day that not only are Desert Voyagers' Guides the very best in the business, but that they are also truly interesting in unique ways. This small but elite group of people who are so committed to the outdoors that they go home each and every day covered in sweat or freezing cold, smelling of river water, covered in mud and paid very little for their irreplaceable talents deserves a place to voice their thoughts and share their adventures. Our Guides see the best of nature and experience the worst and still come back day after day for more. Why, you might ask? It's simple. They love it. They truly love the life-giving waters of the desert and how they transform an arid inhospitable place into a thriving ecosystem complete with wild horses, river otters and towering green trees. With saguaros rising up majestically on the orange horizon and cactus wren calling in the background who couldn't like it here, when they take the chance to slow down and appreciate what's around them?
The Guides of Desert Voyagers come from many different backgrounds and lifestyles. We have EMTs, survival instructors, rock climbers, motorcycle riders, bootleggers, photographers, hippies, hikers, former and current members of the military, teachers, naturalists, writers, SCUBA divers, beach bums, hammock lovers and hard workers. All of these people form a unique family of Guides who make it their top priority to create memories that will last a lifetime in the minds of every individual who boards our rafts.
Since many of our most creative and interesting Guides may not have another outlet to share their adventures, this blog will be a journal of experiences, adventures and thoughts they'd like to share with the world. We hope you enjoy!
