• Rogue River 1/2 Day

  5 "Alan, We had a wonderful time, too. How nice of you to follow-up. Mike hasn't stopped talking about it and Noelle keeps coming up with ideas on how to go with her future classmates. Personally, I was impressed with your professional "cool reserve" style - it made me feel safe and in good hands, yet adventurous enough to let go and enjoy the excitement. I hope it's OK to ask for you in the future. Stay "cool"! And we'll see you again soon... Janice " 1 2 3 4 5

  5 "Hi Momentum, It's Allie, and I'm really exited that you have my email!!!!! First of all I would like to say thank you, because that was the best rafting trip out of all four that I've been on! Next year I was wondering if we could have the same guides again. (If that's possible) I really enjoyed all the fun moments we all had together this year like the play that Hailey, Julia, and I put on for everyone, getting splashed by the jet boat, or the awesome campsite that Chad or Pete would set up for us everyday! Those moments and many more I will never forget. Please try to email me back, and tell Chad not to forget our secret handshake. Lots of Love, Allie Laurenson " 1 2 3 4 5

  5 "Dear Pete, Mike and Anthony! It was a amazing trip! I don’t know where I should begin telling you how much I enjoyed it and appreciate all your hard wonderful, astounding, great, remarkable, amazing, significant, SWEET trip! I’ve been thinking for the whole week what I should write to you. Whenever I had an idea of what to write I wrote it on a small piece of paper, and put it next to me. In fact, last night, while I was lying in bed, I had an idea. I wrote it down and put it with the collection. The problem is, is that the papers somehow got to be all over the house. I really enjoyed the river and camping! No. I take that back. I enjoyed the river and camping but it wouldn’t have been the same without the three awesome guides! It passed soooo quickly! After looking forwards to it for soooo long, it was much better than I even expected. I’ll try to find the notes, and then write you another e-mail. Now, we are leaving to my grandparents’ house and the whole family is rushing me out….. Hope to see you in Israel! Chana " 1 2 3 4 5

  5 "Dear Pete, Robyn, Jason and Chad, I can only echo Nancy's comments. Many, many thanks for such a tremendous trip. We enjoyed ourselves immensely, and we bring back wonderful memories. The commitment and heart that you brought was fabulous - and shined in every aspect of the trip. You always went the extra mile and anticipated what we would need or want to do long before we knew ourselves. Congratulations on building an organization that brings such joy, fun and laughter to its clients, while executing with the highest professionalism and standards. It is quite an achievement. We'll check out the photos on Facebook - thanks! Also, Nancy and I were talking about trying to get a recommendation up on Yelp...either we'll figure it out or we'll have one of the kids do it! Momentum deserves the highest kudos! I hope you have a great rest of the season. If any of you are in the Bay Area, please let us know. We'd love to see you and can even provide beds! Cheers and hugs to all, Ann " 1 2 3 4 5

  5 "Hi Momentum crew, Ah...thanks for all the kind words and thoughts! How nice.....but truly the thanks go to all of you... Ann and I were hiking last night and she mentioned writing to you now that we were back from Almanor, but you beat us to it. So from the bottom of our hearts, and no doubt these words are echoed by all, many many thanks for a great trip. You made it works so well and look so easy - something that is a true art. We had so much fun. It was peaceful and relaxing and beautiful and exciting all wrapped up into a wonderful time. We missed mom and dad terribly, but certainly they were there with us in spirit. As the reigning queen of the 'Oreo cookie drip down the face', I feel privileged to have had the opportunity to share the wonderful Rogue River with all of you! Have a great rest of the season. Our very best...till next time! Xoxoxoxo Nancy " 1 2 3 4 5

• Rogue River Rafting

  5 "Thank you for the wonderful experience we had rafting and camping on the Rogue in late July. We had never been on an organized rafting trip, and so weren't sure what to expect. We loved the small size of the group; the scenery was magnificent (especially all the little creeks and waterfalls along the way); and it was especially fun to be able to go through some of the rapids in the inflatable kayaks. Our guides Mara and Anthony were simply spectacular. They worked constantly to make everyone feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed. We learned a tremendous amount about water safety, rafting techniques, reading the river, and natural history from them, and the food they put together was truly outstanding. We have never eaten so well on a camping trip before. We appreciated the special effort they put in to accommodate vegetarians and other special dietary needs. We are already starting to think about our next rafting trip with Momentum--and hopefully with Mara and Anthony! Thanks again for a great vacation! -Tom and Kevin " 1 2 3 4 5

  5 "Hey Alan, Thanks for writing! I actually have been meaning to write you guys and tell YOU thanks. Not only did we have a great time, but the entire trip felt astoundingly professional and informative, something I kept thinking over and over as were were preparing side-by-side with the other local tour companies whom appeared to just get in the raft and go; you guys were really awesome for a really great price and I can easily say that you've got me thinking about my next river trip already. Thanks again for all of your expertise, I really learned a lot while also having the time of my life. It had been almost ten years since I last rafted but I'm hooked again and I look forward to seeing you guys again soon! " 1 2 3 4 5

• Rogue High Adventure Kayaking

  5 "My wife and I recently had the pleasure of taking a 4 day inflatable kayak camping trip on the Rogue River with your company. The trip was everything we hoped for. The whitewater was challenging for novices but totally fun and never felt dangerous. The weather and scenery were exceptional. The food was, as advertised, fresh and delicious. However, the success of the trip was assured by our guides, Anthony and Mara, who worked tirelessly and maintained great attitudes, encouraging us and looking after our safety and enjoyment. Who knew that two such accomplished guides could also be great cooks, naturalists, and wonderful companions. Thanks to the entire Momentum staff for a perfect vacation experience. We look forward to another river trip with you in the future." 1 2 3 4 5

  5 "Pete, I won the trip you donated to JPR's Spring Fund Drive and my wife and I did the trip last week. Neither of us had ever rafted before and it was great! The guides, Allen, Jason and Chad, did an excellent job, both on the river and in preparing meals. We enjoyed the lodges, too. Floating down the river in the wilderness was especially enjoyable - - just birds, otters, mink, deer and a bear. Thank you so much for donating the trip. We will be telling all our friends about our Momentum river experience. Bill and Julie Van Moorhem " 1 2 3 4 5

  5 "Hi-- We had a wonderful time. When I went back to work on Monday, I felt really refreshed. I have already recommended you to two friends! I will aim to write an online testimonial this weekend. (I asked Mark and Elizabeth to do so also but we will see....) Alan--I misspelled your name dreadfully. If the bank has any problem with that, please let me know and I will send another check. (I looked at your bio on the website--I hardly recognized you on that motorcycle!) Mary " 1 2 3 4 5

• Rogue River 1/2 Day

  5 "Hello Pete, Thank you to the whole of Momentum for organizing a splendid river adventure. My son, husband and I returned Sunday from the Rogue Wilderness Lodge trip and it was the highlight of our summer. My son is turning 15 this fall and is athletic and adventurous by nature but had no idea how much fun and challenge he was going to have. He smiled the entire trip, as did Phillip and I. The beauty of the Rogue and the Siskiyou Mountains was a feast for the senses. We saw animal life that we'd hoped to see (bear, mink, fox, otters, orange crayfish, water turtles, bald eagles, osprey) that we just don't have in Palo Alto, California. The white water was terrific for beginners (quickly turned intermedieates) and provided extended excitement and challenge for Phillip and Chris particularly when they learned to surf. Once they slipped into the inflatables (first day) they never returned to the raft. The lodges were the perfect choice for us, and we loved both of them for different reasons. If a person can't love Paradise, then life really is hopeless. The lodge was beautiful and spacious itself but it wasn't just the comfortable accommodations that made it special - the entire property cradled us in it's serene and natural beauty and provided a dreamy ending to a dreamy day. Let me gush about your guides for a moment. Alan led the trip and Mike guided our supply boat. They are two of the most wonderful mentors we could have hoped to lead us on the river. Alan's knowledge is deep and wide; his demeanor matched the serenity of the surroundings which caused us to pay attention to both the wilderness history and the rules he imparted while on his boat. He was not just a guide, he was a wonderful teacher and successfully shared his palpable love of this stretch of the Rogue. I'd even go so far as to say he possessed a little magic about him: twice he got us on hikes up tributaries that ended in these river pools the likes of which you see in National Geographic, and he did so just before other bigger groups arrived. We came upon these pools as if we were the only humans in the region which added a special "just for you" quality to the hikes. Mike could not have been more delightful. He too was profoundly knowledgeable. His ease, grace, humor, and willingness to share his love of rafting captured our imaginations for hours. Chris decided he looked like the movie character, Wolverine, and he was given this moniker for our trip. Your care and attention to our meals was evident and greatly appreciated. Your thoughtful approach to reducing our impact on the wilderness is deeply appreciated and respected. It's better than nice knowing we may have had little negative impact on the river. Your drivers at the take out were courteous and again, engaging. Oh yes, I realize you cannot predict what groups will get along when paired together for three days - sometimes it works and sometimes not. Well, we loved the Seymour family and all eight of us got on beautifully which of course added to the expansive joy experienced by all. From my initial contact with your company throughout our time with you, my/our experience was superlative. We have been and will continue telling everyone we come into contact with what a special encounter we had and to investigate Momentum. Thank you so very much. fondly, rpm " 1 2 3 4 5
