2009.08.15 RAFTING THE ARKANSAS RIVER

Its been much too long (over 3 years) since my last whitewater rafting experience and it seems that I always have other plans in place whenever the Wamsley brothers invite me for a day of the raft. So, when e-mails started circulating about joining Brett for a trip down the Arkansas River, I jumped at the chance. We ran the Numbers section of the river, just south of Leadville through Buena Vista. The usual class 5 sections of whitewater were much tamer with the low water level, but we all enjoyed a beautiful day on the water. Any much thanks to Brett who proved an excellent guide (for free!) for us inexperienced paddlers.
