We had a nice lunch and then it was time to raft the Colorado! Sadly all of these photos are on my waterproof camera and I don't have a way to upload them.
It was a nice trip first trip down a river for Alex with Class II and III rapids. The water was 57 degrees, and I don't know why we didn't get wetsuits, but when Maxwell was pushed in by Alex, his lips turned blue. When Alex was pushed on by Mark, our river guide, he curled up in a ball and we didn't hear from him for a while. Two rafts serenaded Alex with "Happy Birthday." We got back to the RV and more perfect timing, the bottom of the sky fell out! Alex was understandably tired and he napped the drive to Denver.
We were scheduled to stay another night in Glenwood Springs but Paul had recently connected with an old friend who lives near Denver and we decided to go take a look at Jeff Kupfer.
Paul and Jeff have not seen one another since the infamous Diamondhead 3/2 overnighter at Camp Blue Star the summer of 1977. If you have not heard this story, stay tuned because Maxwell will be making a feature-length film of it one day!
Jeff and Nicole have a wonderful rec room with vintage items. This was a cool place to relax:
