Fun fun fun. I was glad of the first half of the day, steady current but no rapids to speak of, to practice for and appreciate the difference in the second half. The Arkansas is three hours away and the cost per person is more than a lift ticket, but fun! and no ski boots.
A perfect day, clear hot sky and clear cool water.
I had earlier shied at RDC's suggestion of rafting through Royal Gorge, but now I think I could do it (as a crew member under a guide, that is).
