On one particular trip on the Southfork American river, I was helping with lunch at Miner's Creek. This is a beautiful spot on the river where an ancient oak tree spans a distance of several hundred feet. Gnarled old branches hang low enough to sit on, and the shade provided is wonderful on those hot summer days.
We had just called the group for lunch and I walked over to a high, rocky spot in the sun to eat my lunch. A small group of women from the trip joined me as we laughed and talked about the rapids that day. One of the women pointed to a small group across the ravine and started to comment on this really buffed-out guy. Of course, all the ladies started staring.

We were staring, when suddenly I recognized the guy. It was Arnold Schwarzenegger! I started jumping up and down and when I said his name, the women started screaming. He looked over at us knowingly. He knew we had recognized him.
He smiled at us in a welcoming sort of way. We walked over to him and acted like silly school girls. He even let me squeeze his
I still have that autograph. I will never forget my brush with this most famous international actor of all time. What a rush! --Denise--
ps. He was really handsome in real life!
