Rafting

Monday (almost a week ago now) the weather broke just in time for out day-long rafting trip in Browns Canyon just south of Buena Vista. The rapids were OK, nothing compared to Akurery in Iceland, but we did see a golden Eagle overhead! After rafting, we headed into town for some groceries and stopped at a brewery for some beers and bocce (petang?). Dinner at the campsite was quick and we had a campfire with a beautiful sunset into the distance.

Tuesday morning we had pancakes in the cook shelter at the KOA.  I had to push start my bike because of the elevation. Thanks to Henrick for getting me started down the hill! We shot South then West towards Montrose, stopping in Gunnison for lunch. I had baked enchiladas, so yum! We also hit Black Canon along the way where we did a short circle trek. We couldn't drive to the base of the river cause the guys needed gas! (I'll later get my cumuppins for making fun of them for that...) We stopped at the first gas station we saw and booked a motel in town for the night. Yay showers! We ate out at a sweet pub that night with an interesting crowd and Monopoly cards lacquered into the table!
