Bachelor parties get more relaxed, PG

The bachelor party has long been a clich for wild debauchery and adult entertainment. But as the years have gone on, many men are finding that scantly clad women and a lot of alcohol is not the only way to send their friends on to matrimony.

The days of getting the groom the night before his wedding and taking him out on a world-wind tour of adult fun has transformed to weekend trips a few weeks or so before the nuptials that involve many activities.

While the strip club and adult-themed bars are still a standby, golfing trips, poker parties, sports games, weekend trips and outdoors adventures are getting higher on the list of priorities.

Kayaking on Lake Tahoe is one of the many things you can do when going on a weekend trip run by the Tahoe Adventure Company.

"It kind of seems to me that the stripper thing is not quite as popular as it used to be," said fishing guide J.D. Richey, who charters several bachelor party fishing trips each year.

Richey gives the groom to be a fun day out on the river, and can accommodate any size of bachelor party. Fishing tournaments and teasing amongst the groom's party are some of the highlights on Richey's trips, and he finds that more and more men are choosing this type of activity.

Being close to the Lake Tahoe area, there are plenty of outdoors adventures to be had, and the people at Tahoe Adventure Company are happy to oblige.

"I think the travel market has grown by leaps and bounds the last few years," said Kevin Hickey, owner of Tahoe Adventure Company. "We had a group of guys last summer, only seven of them. They came out and we did a two-day multiple sports trip."

Hickey's company, based in Tahoe City, offers everything from lake kayaking to mountain climbing and biking. He can also accommodate groups as large as 130 people. Check them out at www.tahoeadventurecompany.com.

And of course there is always the big draw of destination trips like heading off to Las Vegas or even Reno, where there are many bachelor activities.

I am Jeff's fiancé (I love saying that!!). We used your company Jan 9th on a Guided Snowshoe Tour. I wanted to personally thank you for doing the preparation & to Regan for adding the final touches to the proposal that Jeff had planned. Without both of your assistance, I possibly could have missed out on the BEST day of my life!! I will forever remember that day & everyone that helped it become reality. Simply said, it was PERFECT. Again thank you both!! -Robin

Hi, I just wanted to follow-up with you after our family trip to Lake Tahoe and the Sand Harbor Kayak Tour we did through your company July 31. It was fantastic! Our guide gets a thumbs up and we'd ask for him again. It was my favorite part of the trip. It was very cool too that a photographer from the Times was there to document all the fun...Again, thanks for a great experience. -Kristen Runke

"What a fabulous experience! None of us had ever snowshoed before and Zach did a fantastic job of guiding us based on our ability level. He was patient, knowledgeable, communicative, and wonderful. Would do again!" -Katrina B.
