Being a Whitewater rafting guide is a seasonal job like no other. Employees work and camp all summer while making money and life long friends. For most guides once the season is over they move on to something else uncertain if they will be back the following year. In this episode we talk to Trey from All Outdoors CA Whitewater Rafting and hear about his experience as a guide and how he's transitioned this to a year round career.
