May 30-Jun 2 2011 Colorado river trip

This is the same trip we got married on, just two different posts. We joined friends and boated Ruby, Horse thief canyons on the Colorado. We were going to run West Water, which is class IV rapids, but the river was at a record high level and whole trees where washing down and we did not want to run rapids with trees. We camped three nights at Mee corner, at Mee canyon. It was warm and sunny and beautiful. We celebrated graduation for the graduates on the trip the first night, had our wedding  the second night and had birthday night the third night.
