This is us packed for four days on the river!

Putting in on the Green

And we’re heading for the canyon

The Gates of Lodore

We’ll be in Lodore canyon for the next 24 miles

Our first campsite - Wade Curtis

We took an evening hike to Winnie’s Grotto

This is the grotto

Heather found a throne

And Ben played us a couple river songs

Partygrass Boys being serenaded by Tyler Grant

Winnie’s rapid

Disaster Falls - the site of Powell’s famous wreck

Still smiling!

Triplet Falls

Hell’s Half Mile - so named because it terrorized Powell’s 1869 expedition

Camped at Wild Mountain

Plenty of time to relax and enjoy some river music

Although a few were entranced with Annie \240reading a porn novel outloud

We’re ready for music!

And then we turned out the lights and just listened and stargazed - completely magical

Our little tent under the stars

Day three!

Packing up the rafts

We got talked into the duckies

About to leave Lodore canyon

Here comes the band, into the confluence with the mighty Yampa

Floating under Steamboat Rock in Echo Park - what a place for music

Leaving Echo Park and dropping into Whirlpool Canyon, where the geology gets wacky

Juniper II (or two-niper) at the last camp

Camped in Island Park, and it’s costume night!

Just two Kens

Trevor shaved that mustache just for tonight!

Don’t know what they are…

T-rex eats pirates and mermaids?

The Pixie preying mantis will take on T-rex

And lose :(

Last night of music

Wow, Ben. Need to record that one!
