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.

Re: July 4 creekin in Colorado?!!
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!
