Pictures of a Brown's Canyon raft trip we took last Wednesday.
Brown's Canyon is on the Arkansas between Salida and Buena Vista. There was 7
of us together in one boat; 8 including Robby our guide and new friend.
From the left front of the boat are: Bruce Jordan, Bill Boswell, Elaine
Boswell, and guide Robby. From the right front of the boat are: Norm
Koeppen, Bill Zust, Carolyn Jordan, and Shirley Koeppen. We had an absolute
blast! We were soaked to the bone from the white water, but nobody wanted it
to end.
We all had on wet suits so it really wasn't that cold, but the hot chocolate
did taste good when we pulled out. The most exciting part was taking the
rapid called the "Widow Maker" when big Bill Zust lost it and did a back flip
into
the current. He floated about 30 yards ahead of us before we caught him. He
did exactly as Robby had instructed, he was fine, a little cold till his wet
suit brought him back to normal temperature. Afterward we all celebrated,
then
went out that evening to a Chinese restaurant.
Did we like it? We are all going next year. This is a preseason half price
special put on by the Chamber of Commerce.
