My first post in this forum :)
On Saturday I was invited by a friend at work to take his raft down the Gunnison River from Escalante to Bridgeport. He’s got a big trip on the Yampa in a few weeks and needed to get more practice on the water beforehand.
I didn’t end up bringing my camera on this trip, but my friend had his, and I ended up taking a bunch of photos with it for him. Here’s some of the pictures from our short day trip.
Andrew inflating his raft at the Escalante boat launch
The raft along the shore near a campsite we stopped to check out
Headed down the river
A coal train zipping by us
Great scenery
Andrew and Jim
I even took over for a little bit
An old cabin along the river
The new bridge at Bridgeport...
It was a nice relaxing day on the river and I managed to learn a lot, too. Looking forward to getting out on the local rivers some more! |

This is Andrew - the Friend :)
Sadly I did not get to go on the Yampa,
The trip leader, decided that with my lack of big water experience, and the extremely high flows, that I would be a danger to myself, and possibly others on the trip.
Oh well - Some other time - I am sure |
