Had a GREAT 4 day trip for many many reasons. @Alex (http://www.bogley.com/forum/member.php?u=139) and I were included in a group of 23 prior strangers, and like most river trips, really came together as a great bunch of friends. We all had a safe time, a few duckie flips with fast recoveries, great food, and some great entertainment around the campfire. :afro:
Here's a quick embedded map of the put-in and take-out, and some of my pictures.

What city are you in again? Lots of people from Colorado on this trip, mainly Grand Junction. We usually bump into people from Durango too.
