A young Colorado trip report

Post by HunterHobbs » Tue Jul 20, 2010 9:42 pm

We left for Colorado on July 6. :D After stopping for some rest in Amarillo we got to the put in of the Numbers about 3:00. It was pretty cold that afternoon :? and everything went well. The next day we met up with Dale Barton, Andy Monafee, and his daughter Laura :wink: for another great day. The next two days we play boated on Browns Canyon with Michelle and Tommy. Monday we met a family from Durango that had never been down the numbers, so I got to guide them down river in the morning then we had a session at the playpark. Tuesday we headed to the Royal Gorge and we got out to scout a huge rapid named Sunshine. When we were headed back up to run it, I saw my dads boat floating down through Sunshine! :poke: He had to run down river and swim across the bottom of the rapid to get his boat. :lol: I got to guide everybody down Sunshine and Sledgehammer! :D I had a GREAT trip and I got 7 runs on the Number 2 on Browns Canyon and 1 on the Royal Gorge. We drove back home on Saturday and got my little brother Clay :roll: (He's 4). We all went to the Mulberry and Clay got to paddle in my old fun 1 for the first time. He did pretty good and only got hot once! I have ran Richland (my favorite 8) ) 20 times since April 2009 and I also have personal first decents on Falling Water, Upper Crooked Creek, and the upper and lower Ocoee this year! I LOVE to kayak!! :D
