With our original summer plans upended, it was beginning to look like western paddling just wasn’t going to happen in 2020. However, after an uncertain May came and went, Mikel Carr and I starting kicking around the idea of a short to CO in late June. It all came together at the last minute and our mutual friend Edgar Peck was able to join us as well. The three of us enjoyed 8 days of quality boating bookended by two, 24-hour straight drives.
Being in CO well past the early peak flows this year meant we did a lot less
driving around the state than many years and ultimately decided to basecamp
just outside of Buena Vista and day-trip out from there to hit a variety of
different runs within a two-hour radius of our campsite. Not moving camp
resulted in the whole trip having a much more relaxed pace and really feeling
more like a vacation than some years, with plenty of time to enjoy beers and
hang out together.
Until Next Time...
