July 4 creekin in Colorado?!!

Post by Fish » Tue May 13, 2014 12:59 pm

Any other Arkies or expat creek boaters gonna be boatin out in CO July 2-6? I'm more out-of-practice than most years due to a near-terminal case of "dry-boat", but I remember the lines on a bunch of creeks and rivers out there. Well, I at least remember the really important eddies. No worries, after a couple warm-up hucks, I'll be right as rain. And I'd enjoy meeting new folks who share my love of interesting gradient.

So I'm taking the creek boat and will be aiming this trip for class 4 with a sprinkling of 5. Castle-into-Roaring-Fork, Pine Cr. + Numbers, any section of Denver's Clear Cr., Steven's Down on the Poudre, Crystal Narrows... that sort of thing. Always up for a bit more spice too - Clear/Lake Cr. of Ark, Poudre Narrows, Bailey, Source of Boulder, Big Tommy, etc. Probably not up for high-water hijinks on the truly steep/remote/gnarly stuff this trip tho. If all stars aligned exactly right, I'd consider Big South... but that's a more serious undertaking and I'd wanna be REALLY feeling it.

So if any/all of that sounds good to you and you got a hall pass for July 4 week, let's talk.

Hasta,
Fish

Harlan, I'd be happy to share some beer with some LA (Lower Arkansas) paddlers on this trip. Probably have to wait until we're at the takeout tho, where I can drink mine out of a bottle and you can drink yours out of a boot... Hope you can make it out that way and we'll fire up something stupid and fun! :crazy:
