August 29-30, 2023 Canon City and Longmont, Colorado

 High 90's. Perfect day to go rafting. 



Katy, Katie and I drove to Canon City for our raft trip. We ate our gourmet lunch prepared by Katie's husband Bill at our favorite picnic table at the Abby in Canon City. At Raft Masters the air temp is 95, the water temp is 64 and the Arkansas river is running at 890 csf. 



Our good friend Dennis will be taking us down the river. Katy keeping cool. The river was muddy, like a chocolate milk shake. It must have rained higher up on the river and this is run off. 



We rafted in Bighorn Canyon and had many big horn sheep sightings.  Beautiful day on the river. 



Turtle Rock. Beautiful scenery. 



Our handsome, hunky  guide kept us entertained. Katy and Katie having fun. 



Wildflowers on shore. Coming into a rapid.



The professional photographer photos of us . 



More professional photos of us blasting down the river.



We made it back. A good time was had by all.  Happy Dance.



Dennis charming Katy. We took Dennis out to dinner at the Yummy Thai restaurant. Food was good and the company even better. What fun. 



The almost full blue Salmon moon rising in the setting sun on the way back. The next day I went to the annual HHA luncheon. We all worked together at HHA in the 80's/90's.  Great to see Carol, Nancy and Kay.
