Kayaking in Colorado has been great, as usual. But, we couldn't go down the river until July.
There was a lot of snow this winter, so the Rio Grande River was flowing fast and high. We didn't venture into the river until late July and early August.

Joni took a trip down the river with good friends, Kandy and her daughter Kacy. What an exciting trip that was.
Kacy ran over a rock and put a hole in her kayak. She slowly deflated and had to pull over to the side of the river. We were only half way down the 10 mile float and had no one to pick us up and no car nearby. After thinking of several options, we decided to put Kacy's kayak on Joni's kayak. Then Kandy and Kacy rode double for the rest of the float. We had a blast.

Luckily, we made it down to the our take out point and our car. That little kayak held up 2 people pretty good.
A few days later, a friend of ours named Whitt wanted to go down the river. It was his first time so we went on a slow, easy float. And had a great time. Kayaking is great fun and great exercise. Just be careful!
