There will be a mid-day stop for a gourmet picnic lunch along the banks. It is recommended hat you wear a swimsuit under your clothing (shorts or long pants and a light-weight shirt). Tennis shoes are mandatory! Bring suntan lotion, sun glasses, a light rain jacket, and a set of dry clothing, which will be waiting for you in the vehicle at the end of the run. There are showers and dressings rooms at the take-out landing. You should be back in San Jose by 6:30 PM with the remainder of the evening at leisure. (B, L)
